Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions.

I've done hours of searching about SSL and HTTPS. I think I have the basic idea of the steps involved.

What I have been unable to find out is how a website reacts after doing that.

Example: Existing website on FF, no visual warnings on any pages other than the little gray information icon in address bar.

All the embedded content works - linked images & videos from other sites, js Menus, Rotating Banners, etc.

If that website now has SSL installed and HTTPS redirect does the website look as before? same little gray info link in Address bar - or gets a padlock (or Greenbar) if everything is secure?

Or... does a message bar or popup appear alerting visitor of insecure links on that page or empty boxes where my js menu or Banners or embedded videos once were, etc.

In other words, does SSL and HTTPS force the page to examined more closely and give much more visual alerts to insecure content or links?
