Why is this iframe not loading?

Will this work to reduce loading time for an encrypted webpage? (SSL)?

• I'm developing a web site on my computer which i've set up as a local webserver (127.0.0.1). I can test everything from the php code to MySQL databases, but can't test the SSL features. I've noticed encrypted pages take very long to load esp if they have pictures. I wan't to design my login page thus: 1. A simple html page without encryption. I can put loads of graphics here coz it won't take long to load. It won't load in encrypted form coz it's address will be 'http:\\....' 2. Inside this page I'll put an <IFRAME> with an SRC in the form 'https:\\.....'. The page loading in the <IFRAME> is the actual login page with only 2 textboxes for username and password. Will this work? Will the main page load without encryption and the <IFRAME> load with SSL encryption? Anyone ever tried this??

• Answer:

  Yes, the main page is its own IE controller, with the IFrame acting as a second controller. It's essentially two browsers on the screen at the same time, but just taking up different real-estate. SSL may slow things down a little bit, but acceptable performance levels ought to be acheived through proper techniques and processes, e.g. graphics optimizations, hard-ware configurations, network capacities, etc. hth, Fuzzhead
