Frames and SSL; can just one frame be secure?
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 7:50 pm
This might be a dumb question, but...
I am designing the admin section for a web site. It's in frames. The main site is on a non-ssl server. If I load a page from an ssl server into one of the frames the browser doesn't show the pad-lock indicating a secure page. This isn't a problem since it's just an admin area of the site, but is it (just that frame) a secure connection even though it doesn't show as being so?
Just for clarity I'm loading a secured page into a frame. The browser doesn't indicate that it's secure, by showing the pad-lock (Firefox). Is the page still secure even though it's in a frame? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Found answer in case anyone else runs into this issue. The anser is NO ssl will not work with frames. You need a new window.
