I am posting variables from one https page to another, but NS warns users that the variables being posted could easily be read by a third party. The information is credit information, so I would like this to be secure. How do I do this? Dont want to use cookies or any kind of javascript encryption, unless it is built in.
-Thanks

Do you mean http, or https?
You can do a server post with the xml object or fsock with php. That will bypass the client side check.

its https. Seems the problem only happens when I am using javascript to do form validation before submitting the form. Not sure why this would cause any security issues.
