From what I understand about using Authorize.net.. basically I had a form, which the user filled out, which I offer up this form via secure connection ie: https://www.yourdomain.com/someform.html I believe we are running a some SSL version of Apache, with a certificate from Verisign. Then this form would have a link to authorize.net like <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"> Kevin
