showing ssl padlock

[spritch2]

hi,

broadly, how do you deliver an empty form to a user so the ssl padlock shows? do you need to tell the server that this page requires a secure connection?

thanx

I am not 100% sure what you mean. If you are wondering how to connect using the Secure Socket Layer then you will need to have access to a SSL certificate.

If you have a SSL cert, then all you have to do is to link to your form using [,...] instead of http://

I hope this helps.

yeah your along the right lines, so your saying in the links calling your form instead of using relative addresses you use absolute using

[server...]

cheers

Assuming your SSL certificate is installed properly then yes, that's the correct way to link to a secure form.

Make sure ALL of the graphics and other external objects are referenced with https:// on that secure page as well, or the padlock won't show up.
