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,
