Clone on SSL with Anchor Tag

[cblaze22]

I recently ran into a problem with the clone function and SSL with a anchor tag. The problem was IE kept showing that unsecure items were on a page that contained htts:// in the protocol. Searching the html there was nothing. I narrowed the problem down to cloning a anchor . I read that some javascript may cause this issue with SSL enabled sites. My fix was to create the anchor tag by scratch and use that instead.

Can you provide a simple test case? This may be a variation of #1734 but it's hard to tell without a test case.

Go to in IE7

It occurs when it hits this line below in common/script/utility.js

var pageObj = page.clone();

and I fixed it with these lines.

var pageObj = $(document.createElement('a')); pageObj.attr('href', $(page).attr('href')).addClass('on').html($(page).html());

This looks like a duplicate of #1734; the IE case for clone goes through jQuery.clean.
