: How is Facebook avoiding mixed content (SSL/non-SSL) warnings? I signed up to Farmville and I get a URL like: https://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/index.php?ref=tab At the bottom of the page are ads

I signed up to Farmville and I get a URL like:
apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/index.php?ref=tab
At the bottom of the page are ads which are served not using ssl - they are pulling in regular http calls. How are the mixed content warning dialogues suppressed? Is it trickery or due to frames?

Looking at the code my guess would be frames - since facebook killed off fbml tabs all facebook apps run in an iframe so the content of the frame must be ssl but the rest of the page not.
