I am using eJunkie for all our cart features on beautyfit.com. We have been getting complaints from certain women that when they want to purchase an item or view their cart the buttons do not appear and there seems to be a broken link and only text... Hence they can't purchase and are getting frustrated...



I tested all the products and buttons on my Mac with no problems... Could this be a PC or Explorer issue?



I have the eJunkie "View Cart" button on every page as well as the "Add To Cart" on the product pages as instructed...



Please advise...



Thx Marcus

I think we're already working with you on this via email, but the issue is that you're forcing your entire site to load with https: URLs rather than the standard http: URLs, and our standard button codes provide http: URLs for the button image and box.js View Cart script that manages the overlay-style cart display "inside" your page. If you prefer to keep your entire site loading as https: for some reason, simply change all instances of "http:" to "https:" in the E-junkie button codes you have pasted into your pages.



That said, the only reason for using a secure-encrypted (https:) URL is when sensitive personal or financial information (such as a credit card account number or a login password) is being transmitted to or from the buyer's browser, as https: ensures such transmissions will be SSL-encrypted in case of potential interception by any third party. This is entirely unrelated to the security of your site/server in terms of its resistance to hacker intrusion.



All E-junkie cart orders in progress are anonymous until checkout, so there's little point in using https: before that point. It also slows down page-load performance, due to the overhead of encrypting every page before it's sent to the buyer's browser, which then needs to decrypt the page before it can be displayed. The nature of our service eliminates any need for our sellers to implement https:/SSL encryption security on their own sites, as we automatically take care of the transition to checkout using https: for you when necessary.

We had this same issue with our site. Our host service changed our site from https back to http.



However, all our ejunkie buttons are https. That is how they were generated from our Admin-Get Button Code from our account.



So, should all those add-to-cart buttons be changed to http?



Why are they generated as https?

The buttons will work fine using https: code on an http: site. We generate button codes using https: is so they will not be blocked or cause "mixed content" warnings when pasted into a page hosted at a https: URL, but mixed http:/https: content is not an issue when the page itself is http:.
