Clicking the Return to Merchant button generates a browser's warning

[loudmerchant]

I customized my "Return to Merchant" button using the "cbt" variable to "Return to MySite", and I specified the return page using the "return" variable.

However, when I click on this "Return to MySite" button, my browser Firefox shows a warning pop-up that says:

---------------------------------------------

Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
 
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?

[Continue] [Cancel]

---------------------------------------------

It would certainly scare the heck of novice customers. How can I prevent the warning to pop up without me having to switch to a secure https page?

Thanks.

We need to see an example.  Need a URL to page that has your item button code.

Here is the code (I replaced my website URL with "mysite.com"):

<form name="form_submit" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" onSubmit="return _check_submit(this);">

<select name="quantity">

 <option value="6">6</option>
 <option value="7">7</option>
 <option value="8">8</option>
 <option value="9">9</option>
 <option value="10">10</option>
 </select>

</form>

That really does not help, we need to test the live code.

Do you really have a secure HTTPS site as you are calling HTTPS in the cpp_header_image variable value but the the rest of URLs you're using are going to a non-secure site.   This pathing will cause unexpected results.

How can I send you my URL privately?

I think the problem is that the "Return to Merchant" button is coded to *submit* a form to a return page that is in my case non-secure.

The Return to Merchant button's code on PayPal basically looks like this:

<form action="http://www.mysite.com/my_return_page" method="GET">

<input type="submit" value="Return to Merchant">

</form>

Just by looking at this code, you know that you are submiting a form from PayPal's secure page, where the button is located, to my non-secure return page, hence generating the warning from the browser.

When I changed my return page to https as in https://www.mysite.com/my_return_page, the warning did not show up because it was going to a secure page.

How could I make the button as a simple re-direction to go to the return page instead of a form submission?
