I don't know much about JavaScript or VBScript, but I believe there is an action called OnKeyPress or something to that effect. If that's there, writing a function that accepts the key pressed and replace it with another character, while the original pressed character is stored in a shadow array?

It is determined by the browser and OS. I presume you are talking about Windows XP, which is where I see that behavior. You might try use a CSS entry or style= to change the font for the input box to Courier and see if it behaves differently. -- Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

On 14 Mar 2005 Dotan Cohen wrote: change input type='text' name='name'/ To: input type='password' name='name' This does not address the question. The OP saw small dots in the password display, he wanted asterisks. That is not because he was using type='text' but because he was already using type='password' and the browser had a particular way of displaying characters in such fields, which he wanted to change. This is an HTML related question, not php (or even javascript). Next time try google. Really it is a browser implementation question, not even HTML. But in any case, I am not the person who asked the question. You may want to direct your advice to them. People get confused all the time about what is happening on the server side and what is on the client side. This poster asked specifically whether the issue could be addressed in PHP or was (in his terms) an OS issue. I don't think knowing the answer to that question is a prerequisite for posting here. -- Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
