Hello. I've developed IE plugin which adds an icon after each link on pages. But, If I navigate on https sites then I get the message that IE has restricted..... If I try to allow the access IE shows that message again. How can I fix it or where am I wrong ?

A: 

The icon has a url for its src property. IE will be complaining because you are using regular http protocol for that src property, while the rest of the page uses https - so your content is not coming from a secure site.

To fix it, ensure that the url you use has the same protocol as what the rest of the page is delivered by - so you will need to host your images on an https enabled site.

But it is imposible, because my icon is on local folder...

@cpp - it is not complaining about **where** the icon is coming from (although it may do that too depending on how your IE zones are set up), it is compaining about the **protocol** you are using to retrieve it.
