Thanks Sal!

This was my next question. I am in the trenches looking at converting
a large site over to completely linux based. For the last year we have
been running the online shopping under NT Intershop .. A nightmare..:)

To give you an idea ... Under Intershop's support contract, last Aug
they told me what you describe below was impossible..... sigh ...:(

They told me the only way I could get the security indicator on the
browser was to spawn a new browser as you go into secure mode ...

After being lied to many times by them, I rebuilt the frameset to get 
the closed lock to come up .... in a similar way as you described. 

I was dreading figuring out how to refresh the frameset in secure mode again..

THANX!


Anyway, your post saved me a lot of time. 

Also Thanx mikeh for a good web commerce product!

Our next problem is how to plugin another database system like sybase or
Oracle .. etc. "That's way down the road"

For now, MiniVend really gives us what we need better than say 
"Intershop of horrors" ... Although Minivend doesn't give us a Web interface
for "BackOffice" like intershop, ... It gives us usable/transferrable
order data.

A problem I delt with and finally gave up on with Intershop was:
"How do we integrate Intershop orders into the company's main AS400 based
system that they currently and have used for years for catalog (mail/telephone)
orders?"

The only solution via Intershop was to print out their html pages from the
fancy web based back office and send them over to the data entry dept.... 
sigh:(

Thanks,
-Mike
