RE: WH Smiths online DVDs at 9.99

Not bad, but they seem to have some odd way of working out P&P, which looks like about 2 squid for DVDs.

RE: dvdplus.co.uk.... where`s the yellow padlock?????

Thanks for the advice. I have been back - the frame is https, so placed my order this morning. Got Arthur and Frantic for £8.99 each, and Jerry Maguire for £10.99. Free p&p. Not bad me thinks.

RE: dvdplus.co.uk.... where`s the yellow padlock?????

Ok, but surely if I enter my card details in a window on my client which has no padlock, and hit send, it will not be encrypted until it has traveled across the internet and reached their server. Is this not what big-bit encryption is all about these days?

dvdplus.co.uk.... where`s the yellow padlock?????

I was just about to make my first purchase from this site when I noticed the secutiry icon was missing on the credit card details screen, which instantly made me feel uneasy. I mean, isn`t that a prerequisite these days?

Further to that, I just got the following message back from their Customer Services Co-ordinator....

"The data is fully encrypted, hence the Ignite/Verisign logo on the page.
The padlock doesn`t show because we only use and SSL connection for the credit card form and not the surrounding frames that contain non-sensitive information."

I`m not that technical when it comes to web page design, but I would have thought that if one frame on a page is secure, the whole page must be, and the padlock should show??? Im I right? Help me out here guys :oD
