Hi all,

I am in the process of tagging up a site that includes secure transactional pages. Does any one have experience with this? Should I always implement IFRAMES over JS on secure pages? Are there any other considerations I should be thinking about?

Thanks!
Russ

Hi Russ,

In my opinion...you can never be too safe with the jerks out there hacking these days! Thanks for the explanation...really helps my understanding level!

Thank Rainey,

We already run iframes on some of our other sites and so have provisions to put iframe busters in place.

The reasoning for the use of iframes on secure pages has been to ensure maximum secruity against the possibility of malicious ads/attacks.

Do you think this is being over cautious?

Hi Russ,

I can't speak to the needs of the secure page as I've never found any issues with standard tagging there. But remember that iframes will potentially cause issues with rich media ads. If you have an expanding ad...you will need to have technology built in to allow the ads to break out of the frame.

What ad server are you using?
