How do I make an SSL page?

I need to secure a form page and understand that I need to use SSL to do this. I have not a clue how to make this work and cannot seem to find any simple instructions anywhere. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and trying to redo a secure page that was originally authored in FrontPage by another person. I am taking over/redoing a web site.

I have looked through the code on their page and can find nothing.

Clues?

thanks

Terri

SSL = Secure Sockets Layer or encryption of sensitive data.

As an example, when collecting and processing credit card info on a shopping cart site, your site visitors would complete their transaction on an https:// area (secure server) with SSL encryption. Contacting your web host and asking them what they offer would be a first step.

Thanks Nancy.

I finally figured out the answer to my problem. The site already owned an SSL certificate. I was trying to make a page or series of pages secure. The trick was in the creation of the link to the secure page, note the url as https://www.andthefulladdressofthepage

That activates the security and when you go to that page (and it seems anything linked from that page), the little lock shows up in the bottom right hand corner of the page!

You should add a server side script so if someone enters http://example.com then it will automatically send them to the secure page https://example.com

What scripting are you using?
