Google Analytics and Secure Pages

Here’s something for anyone who uses Google Analytics to track stats on their website:

Ever wondered why your webpage whinges you’ve got insecure content on it when you view it via https ?

I dunno if it’s buried deep in one of their FAQs, but here’s how to fix that:

Instead of using

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "Your-Account-Code";
urchinTracker();
</script>

use

<script src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "Your-Account-Code";
urchinTracker();
</script>

Even on insecure pages! Doesn’t matter. It works.
