jquery 1.5.2

Windows XP

This affects only IE7 and IE8. Other browsers tested such as FF 4, Chrome 12 (dev), IE9 (on Windows 7) were unaffected.

If there are two pages, Foo.html and Bar.html, both on the same domain and both using https, the .load() function operates correctly and without any mixed content warning if loading the entirety of Bar into Foo.

However, if a fragment of the target page is being loaded, a mixed security warning is generated.

URls for reference:

https://www.mydomain.com/staging/Foo.html

https://www.mydomain.com/production/Bar.html

Example (in Foo.html)

$('#content').load('https://www.mydomain.com/production/Bar.html');

However, if loading a fragment from Bar.html, IE7 and IE8 throw the mixed security warning.

Example (in Foo.html)

$('#content').load('https://www.mydomain.com/staging/Bar.html #fragmentToLoad');

Unfortunately I cannot provide a working example as the two resources are not publicly available.
