Help linking to secure (https) pages

Hello,

I built a website with some pages with forms which I want to to be secure with https, and other pages I don't want secure (regular http or relative path).

I have a dedicated SSL certificate setup. I hyperlinked to the form page I want secure such as (https://www.mysite.com/formpage.html). the pages loads up fine but when I tried to go to other pages which is not secure, it automatically puts the https:// at the begining and turns them secure (which slows the server).

My question how can I make just some pages secure?

Thanks,

Rookie2008

Would be better if we had a code to work with.

But maybe this will help.

Check your links, anything like :

Code:
<a href="yoursite.com">Hello</a>
Should be replaced with

Code:
<a href="http://yoursite.com">Hello</a>
The same thing applies with forms.

Code:
<form action="page.htm">INPUT FIELDS ETC></form>
Change to

Code:
<form action="http://page.htm">

use absolute URLs back to the http site in the pages that are located on the https site

Another thing to watch is to make sure that any images you have on your secure pages use the https when linking to them. If you don't use the https you may get the "there are some insecure' links pop up when loading the page.

<a href="http://yourlink.com/">Text</a> rather than <a href="yourlink.com">Your Text</a>
