Is it secure to submit from a HTTP form to HTTPS?

Is there a safe way to include a username and password form on every page of a website without using HTTPS for every page?

EDIT: I want users to be able to login from any page, there would be a small area for a username and password in the header of the website, however not all pages will be HTTPS.

What do you mean by "include"? Sent in a POST or GET request? And why would you send each time? – woz Nov 12 '12 at 13:58
It might be worth considering [using HTTPS for every page](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/02/should-all-web-traffic-be-encrypted.html). (Of course, it might not too.) – Paul D. Waite Nov 12 '12 at 14:14
