This sounds like it might be a case of mixed content (http and https on same site), which is blocked by default by most browsers. Is there more than one server involved in serving the content?
The issue can be resolved locally by adding a security exemption, of which the steps depend on the browser in use:
Google Chrome: Click the shield icon in the right of the address bar, or start Chrome from the command line using the additional flag --allow-running-insecure-content.
Internet Explorer: Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Show all content.
Mozilla Firefox: Click the shield icon to the left of the address bar. Click the arrow next to the Connection is Not Secure warning, and select Disable protection for now.
For a permanent fix, you need to figure out which content is getting server non-https and change this to also be served from an https platform.
