How do I link to the security certificate?

[dsatchell]

I'm adding all of the contributions that I want to this store and when you are logged into your account it shows a box on the left column with a gif that shows that SSL is activated. This is the SSL GIF

.

 

It is working exactly as designed but I want to add a the ability so that if the image is clicked on then it will all just as if the padlock was clicked on.

 

Here is the code that references the GIF, how would I modify it?

<!-- SSL Info Box //-->
<tr>
<td>
 <?php

if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SERVER_PORT"]=='443')
{

	 $info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text'  => "Security" );
new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

$info_box_contents = array();
$content='<img src=\'/store/images/starterssl-ssl-secure.gif\' align=left border=0>';
$content.='128 bit encryption activated, you are in a secured zone.';
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $content);

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
}
 ?>
</td></tr>

Thanx, Dave.

I didn't understand your statement of what you want it to do. Please restate it in more detail. It looks as if you left out some words...

this is a screen capture showing the store and in the bottom left corner you can see a infobox titled SECURITY that shows the ssl gif.

 

if you click on the padlock (bottom right) of your browser it brings up the actual SSL certificate info as in this image

 

When someone clicks on the ssl gif of the first screen it doesn't do anything. I want to make it hotlinked to the same info (real time, not a screenshot) as in the second image.

You can't. That's a function of the browser, and I'm not aware of any way to make that appear without cooperation of the certificate supplier. Some certificate suppliers do offer such a "real-time verification seal", but I don't think the one you're using does. Or, check with your certificate supplier to see if they have such an "active seal" as an option (usually extra cost.)

 

To be honest, I don't think this is worth an awful lot. People who care about such things know to click on the padlock.

Thanx anyways.
