How does geotrust java script work keeping ssl on other sites?

The SSL provider offers among other things a SSL with a couple layers of authentication for its customers, they are asked to place a javascript on their site for a small verified image to be visual security verification...



My question is about the javascript ... being secure across all the websites .. How? using some code can this be tested to display a image from 1 seperate server onto another using both SSL certificates, and no browser warnings from the cross site sharing of a image on a webpage???

I'm not all that familiar with SSL, but I am familiar with its protocol.



As long as the javascript source is from an site that begins with https:// or is a relative path on a secure page, the javascript source code will be transmitted securly. If the code is executed to retrieve an image which is not on a secure site, the browser should display a warning... but it may not, I'm not sure. I'd have to play with it to find out.



Unless you're hosting the images yourself, I can't imagine how you could rig it up so those images would be transmitted securely.
