Green bar and external content

When you want to include some external content on a website secured with an EV certificate, you may encounter issues to keep your green bar active.

So what happens if a part of the page content come from an other website also secured with a certificate?

EV calling content	IE 7	Firefox 3	Opera 9.5
On EV website	green bar	green bar	green bar
on non-EV website	green bar	green bar	no green bar

In a nutshell: you can include elements on your EV website, but they need to come from an EV website as well for a perfect functionning.
