Re: problem with SSL
Just out of curiosity -- you're not on Network Solutions, are you? I found out working on a customer's site that there are some issues with shared ssl on their servers that will cause problems no matter what.
I'm not an expert in SSL -- but if you declare the images locally (globally?) as part of ZC, instead of a "hard" link, they should be included automatically as part of the SSL unless you need to duplicate them in a separate SSL directory.
You can declare the links like the home and login links are declared, only change the page to fit your circumstances. Just look in the tpl_header.php file and you'll see how they're constructed. There's a *brain fart...* definition (not right term, I'm sure) for the "catalog" to call the base of the link, then you can add the page you need to it.
I'm sure I'm not explaining it clearly. *LOL*
