The first thing I would check is to see if, when using HTTPS, all of
the javascript (or other critical components) are actually
loading. Many Web pages have javascript or other components delievered
by some other domain or subdomain than the one you typed in at the
address bar. The javascript might be coming from a server that does
not have HTTPS properly configured for that URL. This is pretty easy
to check with Firebug (an add-on for firefox): turn it on, select the
"net" tab, and then reload the page and it will list the status of
every resources that the browser tried to load.
