I think this will work in some browsers, but not all. I believe to accomplish this in IE you'd have to completely replace the <input type="text" . /> with <input type="password" . />.

I just got the book, "Pro Javascript Techniques" (Apress) and what sucks is that many of the examples do not work. What I want to do is have to input boxes, a username and password. Instead of having labels next to them such as: Username: [INPUT BOX] Password: [INPUT BOX] I want to have the text inside the box [INPUT BOX: Username]. etc... When the user mouses over, I want to make that "Username" text dissapear so they can type their username in.
