    secure forms via SSL

    hello,
    suppose I have a form that I want to secure because I need to send creditcard number in it.

    so I have this form and the action page.

    which page should use https URL?

    is it the form page?
    or maybe the action page?
    or maybe both?

    thanks for anyone that can help.

    Yair

    It depends. It is often good to reassure users by having your form on a secure page too.

    But to send the information in the form securely your address in the action attribute of the form must be a secure one.

    If you are displaying information to your user in a form that has been previously saved in your database you should send that via SSL too.

    In general whenever you are either sending sensitive cutomer information orcollecting it from them you should be using a secure connection. This includes addresses an telephone numbers.
