marmite Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I'm not certain what you mean, apologies if i'm not answering the question. But I believe type="password" is what masks the password as the user enters it. Does this answer your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
