Ohhh... that explains it ... They wanted the user to see the fields
pre-populated with text and then have to enter some value into them, but
mask the password field...
probably better not to pre-populate the fields and just make sure they're
well labelled... though if you need to do something like this, you don't
necessarily have to change the type of the field... What you could do is use
two separate fields with the first one being a name-less dummy field...
<input type="text" name="dummy" value="Password"
onfocus="getPasswordField();">
<input type="password" name="password" style="display:none;">
<script language="javascript">
function getPasswordField() {
document.myform.dummy.style.display="none";
document.myform.password.style.display="inline";
document.myform.password.focus();
}
</script>
Very simple and the user would never know the difference. :)
