Applies to:
Main Web
Description:
The security lock
action is not a real action, it enables you to create a security icon
on your interface, showing the user the security status of the content.

IMPORTANT
NOTE: this action unlike other actions can only be triggered by
a button object and makes
the button a security icon for the Main Web.
Usage:
a button with action Security
lock and target Main Web, will display the icon you added under the
"default" button state as default, and when the page is using
a non-encrypted normal http-protocol. In case of encrypted communication
(https-protocol), it will show the button icon added under "pressed".
The security button
can't be pressed and only makes a general difference between "insecure"
and "secure" sites. There is no special indication relating
to the level of encryption (i.e. 128 bit or 64 bit encryption).
The mouse over hint
will not show the level of encryption, nor will a click on the button
open a security dialog. You may enter a single hint of your choice, which
appears when the mouse is moved over the icon - independent from the level
of encryption.
Hint:
you find a ready-made security lock button with default graphics
in the BrowserBob library.
