Non SSL Bank Login Forms

Subject: Non SSL Bank Login Forms
Date: 18 May 2006 14:57:49 -0000
Hello all, my question is how can a form have a field that is secure without 
using SSL.  From my web programming experience I cannot understand a Bank's 
claim that their login form is secure when there is no SSL used.  "Signing on 
to secure sites from an unsecure page is a common industry practice"  The POST 
data has to get to the server if SSL is not used how can they claim it is 
secure?  I hope I have clarified my question enough

Thanks

John
