Avoiding SSL mixed content warning in https pages

When opening a page using https you can get SSL warnings because the page mixes secure (https) and non-secure content (http). This can happen for many reasons, e.g. javascript inclusion like Facebook plugins or images from 3rd party hosts.

A simple solution to avoid this is to simply remove the protocol (http or https) from the url and start it with //

Example:
//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=YOUR_APP_ID_HERE&xfbml=1

instead of

http//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=YOUR_APP_ID_HERE&xfbml=1
