I have a link to a secure page ( which works until I start using it in frames. If I set target="_top" the secure page works fine but if I set target="mainFrame" then it appears the page is not secure. Is there some special coding for opening a secure page in a frame? TIA
 
the page should be secure -- just the url wont show it as secure because unless you access a whole new frameset your url is set to the original frameset url -- i dont see why a framed page cannot be secure

I think the auditors will be concerned because the lock is not displayed as a secure page. I also am concerned because you said, &quot;should be secure.&quot; :)

If it can't be done then so be it, I'll leave the page target as _top but I would like to make it consistant if possible.
 
honestly dump the frames
