"Mixed Content" error in console...

This is more of an observation/help in case anyone runs into the same problem I did.

I got the following error in the console when I tried the preview after the very first step in the video:

"Mixed Content: The page at 'https://port-80-q6bk0l9085.treehouse-app.com/index.html' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS."

A Google search suggested getting rid of "http:" in the jQuery script, which actually worked, but I have no idea why. Anyone know?

This is a little old, but thought I would chime in. It works because the page is https (s = Secure Socket Layer (SSL)). So, when you try to load something from HTTP, with no SSL, it creates a little red flag because the page is supposed to be secure but you are trying to load non-secured objects. Getting rid of http: creates a relative url and it load the element as HTTPS (if it is available) as the page is https://.
