Fixed* Just replace the input name with Joomla in mod_login > default.php, under password, replace it with Joomla password name.

Nice tutorial: still I failed to integrate it with another one at:
http://www.32statuses.com/2010/01/html-field-hints-with-progressive-enhancement/
to show the hint of the password in gray and italics like the other fields.
My test is in the iframe of:
http://www.virtualtags.net/iframe-2/
where you may see User Name and eMail are grey and italics, while password is black and plain.

What should I change in the code to have this last like the others?
Thanks,
Fabrizio

Cool, A useful feature I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of.. The only thing I wonder is since people are so used to the dots, are they going to assume that their password will be visible. Obviously it won’t, but Im sure some people would be suspicious at first..

Idea is good…. but i think we can do it in a better way!

HTML

Script

function setBoxToPasswordmode(box) {
if (box.value == box.defaultValue) {
box.type = “password”;
box.value = “”;
}
}

function resetBox(box) {
if (box.value == “”) {
box.type = “text”;
box.value = box.defaultValue;
}
}

As you know, the user login box of the website contains the following fields username and password. Furthermore, most of them put the “Username” inside user name field and “********” inside password field to save the space within designing.In this …

Hi Roshan,

Just a quick note. This does not work on IE. Any reason / idea why ?

Here is my solution:

function changeToPassword(){
document.login.password.type = “password”;
document.login.password.value = “”
}

I call this on both the onSelect and onClick events so that when the user tabs to the field, the script does its thing too.
