Hi Raja, I think the way to achieve this is by making use of the keyboard listener functionality. This might need some explicit code. First you define a normal textbox, then when the user types something, set a keyboard listener, and then a timer. Then you can temporarily store the that character of the password in some string which keeps getting appended as and when the user keeps typing. And with every keyboard key-in, call the keyboard listener, then the timer say for 100 ms and then replace that with a * or #. That should get your logic working.
Just for your info, the only reason why this was introduced in cellphones was because, in a cellphone, each button might correspond to multiple characters. If you implement this algorithm in normal web-pages (which I feel would not really be needed) then you might need to have a specific logic to distinguish between a browser-access and cellphone-access and enable this logic only for the browser version and have a normal password textbox for the cellphone version. Just think over!!
