Hello,
Yeah, I just hacked up this: . "<input type=\"text\" value=\"Username\" onfocus=\"this.value=''\">" . "<input type=\"text\" value=\"Password\" onfocus=\"this.value=''\" onfocus=\"this.type='password'\">" What im trying to do is turn that type to a password..so I can see the text...is that possible. - Ben
I'm not clear on whether you actually want the typed passwords to be visible as plaintext or hidden as asterisk/dots. Regardless, below is a css+javascript solution which hides the password field underneath until you mouseover. I feel so filthy for doing it like this, but there are times when painting over the page with CSS is the only way to accomplish the objective. One of my clients has a cafe press store and they didn't want the cafepress logo to be visible on the page. Cafe press doesn't let you disable the logo, but with little bit of dirty css ... voila!

The logo is gone. In reality it's hidden behind the blue circle at the top left.

And now for the example:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#TOP {
   position: absolute;
   left:300px;
   top:10px;
   width:100px;
   height:30px;
   z-index:1;
}
#BOTTOM {
   position: absolute;
   left:300px;
   top:10px;
   width:100px;
   height:30px;
   z-index:0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="TOP"><input type="text" name="junk" value="Password:" size=20 onMouseover="document.getElementById('TOP').style.visibility='hidden';"></div>
<div id="BOTTOM"><input type="password" value="" size=20></div>
</body>
</html>
