Good Day everyone =)

I wanted to find out how I should structure the folders etc for an SSL connection.

I am finishing up a website that will utilize SSL for 10 or so forms. Each form resides in the directory pertaining to the form.

Example Directory:

/widgets1 includes the widget1 form and thank you page, plus all other pages regarding widgets.

/service1 includes the service1 form and thank you page, plus all other pages regarding services.

etc...

Whats the best way to set up the links for these pages? so they point to SSL when incoming and NON SSL when outgoing? It seems IE Keeps bugging me saying I have mixed content... im guessing because I have NON SSL and SSL links on the same page.

Hope that all came out correctly... its been a 6 advil morning already =I

Do not put host name in the source locations in the html.
Something like img src="/myimage.gif" and not src="http://myhost/myimage.gif".

That way your images will also be transferred over https and you won't get any warnings.
