Is this a secure login form?
Hello,
Nowadays seems so hard to 'know' if encryption takes place or not
I need to 'know' that my name+password sent securely.

Following code is on sites home page which is NOT SSL connection just http protocol.

Many thanks for all help offered!!!

Code:
<td class="logincell">
  <table width="174" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <form name="liveform" action="/common/frontend/public/login.aspx" method="https">
      <input type="hidden" name="onPass" value="/member/member.shtml">
      <input type="hidden" name="onFail" value="/public/loginfail.shtml">
      <input type="hidden" name="onVerify" value="/public/fsaConfIntro.shtml">
      <tr>
        <td class="ver9pad"><b><font class="loginlabel" color="#316e65">Username</font></b></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="center"><span class="ver9login"><input class="ver9login" type="text" name="username" size="24"></span></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="ver9pad"><b><font class="loginlabel" color="#316e65">Password</font></b></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="center">
          <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
            <tr>
              <td><span class="ver9loginsmall"><input class="ver9loginsmall" type="password" name="password" size="24"></span></td>
              <td width="5"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="5" height="5" border="0"></td>
              <td><input type="image" src="../images/mn_login.gif" alt="" width="63" height="17" border="0"></td>
            </tr>
          </table>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="ver9username" align="right">
          <div align="left"><a href="password.shtml"><font color="#316e65">Forgotten Password?</font></a></div>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </form>
  </table>
</td>

The login.aspx does the login validation, but everything on this form looks like it is passed to the next form in plain text.
