What you can't do is to have a section of you page over SSL and the rest unsecure. Even though it is possibe to load for example images over http and html over https the user will be presented with a warning that there is mixed secure and unsecure content, Imho that's untrustworthy. You can have an unsecure formpage that submits over https to a sercure page, note that the user probably will recieve warnings that you are changing mode, but that's a lot better than mixed content. What we do is to have different sections that are secured, those that require login, personal info, account etc. Non-personal info that does not require a secure connection is served over http unless you are logged in. Our loginforms are normaly on https pages, with login-links leading to the actual forms to avoid warnings etc. Which way you should go is imho totally based on what type of information you are handling for the customer, how sensitive it is. Account and monetary data doubtless over https with bought valid certificates, no question! Normal personal configurationchoices, ssettings etc are a lot less sensitive. Step back to yourself and ask what you would need to trust things :) But unless you have a high traffic site there should be no real problems to run accountpages over SSL and the rest over http. /Dan */ I'm a ginio.....genios......genu......smart person! /* [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/] [img]http://www.dmsproject.com/gif/newSiggie.gif[/img] [/url] [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=260]{cell 260}[/url] [url=http://dmsproject.blogspot.com/]{Blog}[/url] -{ Sleep: A common physical disorder that manifests itself as the level of blood in the caffeine circulation exeeds 20% }-
