If you view the HTML, the form is probably being sent to the server running SSL. You will see something like:

<form action="https://blah.blah.com";>

........other form stuff here...

</form>

As long as the form data is being sent via SSL, all of your form data is secure.

Should login pages be secured (https)? A bank has a login page that has account holders log in with their user ID and password on an unsecured (http) page. This goes to a secure site (https). A bank staff person told me that the log in page need not be secure. Is that correct?

Thanks,

Michael
