Just out of curiosity, are there any security concerns with putting secure pages within frames. In other words, if I wanted to have a frameset page on a nonsecure part of the site, but a frame whose src is a secure page (i.e. https;//), will there be a security issues other than the padlock not showing up? My initial thought is that it doesn't matter where the secure page is, but I want to make sure.

I dont think that there are any major issues, the secure page is still secure but youre right the secure padlock will not show and neither will the url of the secure page. My web host uses secure pages in frames they have done things the opposite way round though - the frameset is on the secure site as well, so the lock appears but you get a warning message every time you refresh or change the non secure page.
