Change a field to value='' and type='password'

[Vigilant Psyche]

Hey, guys. How can I make a field which says somewthing like 'enter password' orignially but on clicking it changes to 'password' type and 'enter password' value changes to ''?

<script type="text/javascript">
function makePass(obj){
	obj.value = '';
	obj.type = 'password';
}
</script>

<input type="text" onfocus="makePass(this);" value="enter password" /></input>

 

So, basically what I did was bind the function makePass() to the focus event on the element. Meaning that when the user puts their cursor over the field and clicks on it, the event is called. The function then simply takes the calling object and changes the value and the type.

 

Enjoy.
