SSL - lock not showing up on an https page

Hi,

On our Internet site we have a handful of pages that are called using https:// as secure pages. These pages are listed in an if statement, which calls them as https:// if they are in the list.

We added a new .asp page to this if statement, and for some reason, with this page only, the https:// stays up in the url but the yellow lock down in the lower right corner of the browser dissappears.

Does anyone have a clue why this yellow lock would dissappear and how to resolve this? I've compared code between pages, and nothing stands out so far....

Thanks much,
Ray
 
Ive seen this happen when there are errors on the page. I had a page recently that would ask if you wanted to display non-secure items. If you click no, the page continues normally, if you click yes, the SSL connection is lost. I dont know exactly whats going on, but if you can locate any errors on the page and fix them, the SSL might start working.

sorry thats not much help, but it sounds like a similar problem to the one i had.

 
the response.redirect method can retain the original URL in the address bar, but have sent you to another page.

hence why the padlock will be gone but the URL reads https://

Thanks
