ok a simple explanation, first of all I have scripts running my site - but I enter the scripts through a frame so my url is locked in the address bar. In my index.html file at the root of www I added -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<base href="https://secure.webhostingaccess.com/" />
<meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100%, *" frameborder="no" framespacing=0 border=0>
<FRAME SRC="https://secure.webhostingaccess.com/index.php" NAME="mainwindow" frameborder="no" framespacing="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"></FRAME>
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
<CENTER>
<H2>
Your browser does not support frames. We recommend upgrading your browser.

Click <a href="https://secure.webhostingaccess.com">here</a> to enter the site.

</NOFRAMES>

-I also have done some work on my .htaccess file to push people to the ssl side of the site when needed and redirect when the have just a dirctory listing, it goes like this-
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}
# RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
Redirect Permanent index.htm https://secure.webhostingaccess.com
Redirect permanent /thanks https://secure.webhostingaccess.com/whos/thanks.html
- there is more to it then that, but it should give you an idea -
then from pages where you want their content you add an iframe which pulls content from outside sources and displays them in a frame -
here is html for a simple iframe-
<IFRAME src="foo.html" width="400" height="500"
scrolling="auto" frameborder="1">
[Your user agent does not support frames or is currently configured
not to display frames. However, you may visit
<A href="foo.html">the related document.</A>]
</IFRAME>
-I pulled that info out of http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#edef-IFRAME and they have real good information if you are interested in learning more. Hopefull that helps let me know if you get stuck anyware, also you might want to practice some of this stuff on unimportant pages till you see how it works. If you want to see some of this in action goto http://secure.webhostingaccess.com and click on the paypal link on the left side menu I also have a way for people to break out of my frames because there are times when even though my site is secure they may not feel comfortable. Hope this helps.
ps, i am digging through code to find an unterminated comment somewhere in my site so don't bother letting me know about that one, but if you see anything else in my sight that is annoying, do let me know.
