How to determine a site is SSL besides the 'lock' and 'https'
We just finish purchasing a SSL for a site. Yet when we log to the site without "Https", it displays the regular "Http:". However, when typing "Https://domain.name", it display the "S" and the Lock, otherwise it doesn't.
Is the site secure? Does it have SSL? How can we determine that the SSSLl is in effect even without seeing the Lock or "Https"?
Please advice.

Thanx mccarl for answering every part of our question. As a matter of fact it helped us identify the problem.
FYI:
Digging more into the matter, we found that the problem was we needed to create a .htaccess file in order for redirecting HTTP to HTTPS automatically when being addressed by users.
Fixed!
Also awarded the other EE because of great links to determine if SSL
Thanx All!
