Hi Tom,

Assuming you have your site loaded like HTTPS://www.site.com 

Are you saying the page loaded in the "main" frame starts with HTTP, like
HTTP://www.site.com/main.taf ?

If so, then the main page is not secure, therefore no lock. The other pages
are secure, but not the main page.

All the content of the currently loaded page(s), for a given site, has to be
loaded with HTTPS in order to get the lock. This includes graphic files,
stylesheets, script files - everything.

Or are you saying something else?

Remember, if the SSL certificate is for HTTPS://www.site.com, it won't work
for HTTPS://site.com

Also note, the SRC of an IFRAME or FRAME cannot be empty for SSL, or you can
a warning prompt.

Let us know. Cheers.......
