Is there a way to use javascript to sniff out whether users are coming from a secure server? I would like to serve a different css if they are coming from https.

Thanks,

Jenn

Heres something to start off with
alert(document.protocol)
Will tell you the protocol of the document.
Maybe you could say
if (document.protocol="Secure HpyerText Transfer Protocol")
{do this}
else {do this}

document.protocol only works in IE 3.2 I think... Thanks for replying so fast.

Huh?
document.protocol is standard javascript.
