Non SSL Bank Login Forms

[wilson.amajohn () gmail com]

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
