asterix

[benbacardi]

Is there anyway to make anything typed into a prompt box appear as asterix's instead of normal text?

yes....

use this:-

Code: Select all

<input type="password" name="whatever" />

Hope this helps.

yea thanks but i mean the prompt as in:

Code: Select all

var url = prompt("Enter security code","");

any ideas?

There isn't a way to do that with prompt. Instead you might try using showModalDialog to open a page in a small modal window with a password input field like Rob showed. The page can then pass the value back to your main page using the returnvalue.

I don't know what the cross-brower support for showModalDialog is though.
