Hey there...

can anyone tell me if there is an option to do the following:

<in*put type="text" on*Focus="this.type='password';">

without using inner*HTML???

why not just do <input type="password" /> ?

I need to put in the value "Type password" and then when on*focus change the type to password, so I get the "dot" character instead of real characters. At the same time I clear the value.

this could be done with some css, but I'd reccomend just having the text before the password box.

Besides, even with css you'd need javascript. I don't see what you'd use innerHTML for anyway, as this.value would achieve the same thing

That's what I'm hoping for ... that CSS could do this ... but I don't know how ... the problem is taht I don't have enough space for writing it before the password box ... so if you have a solution I would be pleased :-)

then have an image that says Password as the background.

Nice! ... cool mate ...
didn't see that loophole ... thx!
