Loading HTTPS content on HTTP pages

Can non-secure pages (HTTP) load secure content (HTTPS) without any unwanted side effect (eg: browser alerts, failed load, etc)?

I know secure (HTTPS) pages shouldn't load non-secure (HTTP) content and that protocol-less URLs can help alleviate this problem. I would like to know if the opposite is also true.

Thanks, Omar

The only problem would be if the User Agent doesn't support HTTPS, otherwise loading secure content on a non-secure page should work and shouldn't generate warnings.

Regarding whether it SHOULD be done, read: Is there any reason not to serve https content on a page served over http?
