SSL Site Seal vs IE7

Hi

Ok, so my client is using PayPal Express Checkout only, and therefore there was no real need for him to purchase a SSL Certificate. He did anyway, with the general idea that customers would feel more at ease with a Thawte Site Seal. Fair enough!...

However, in super-fandango-security-conscious IE7 when I hit the site I have the browser alert:

"To help protect your security, IE7 has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors..blah blah.." ...

Evidently, it is the seal in a sidebox that is causing this! When the javascript:

<script src="<https://siteseal.thawte.com/cgi/server/thawte_seal_generator.exe>"> </script>

is removed from the box the error does not occur!

My client, using IE7, does not receive this error. I assume this is not just a local problem to me as my browser settings are standard!

Could other IE7 folk please let me know if they too receive the error, and does anybody know why this would be? I can't see why the seal would throw up a cert error...??

Thanks in advance...

Dazed and Confused,

Steve :blink:
