I bought the book Beginning ASP Databases ISPN #1-861002-72-6 

On page 690 is the start of code for a login page, on page 691 close to the 

bottom of the page is this code



       <td>Password</td> 

      <td><input type="text" name="txtPassword" size="15"></td> 



the code works well, but I can not find any help in this book nor can I 

figure out how to make the code put a asterisk * in the place of what ever 

is typed into the text box.



Could you please point me in the correct direction. Where can I find the 

help I need or could you please just show me the code I need.



Thanks

Just change the type to password instead of text.

So instead of 

      <td><input type="text" name="txtPassword" size="15"></td> 

you write

      <td><input type="password" name="txtPassword" size="15"></td> 



This should do the trick.



Romita.

This something that can be achieved using only HTML. Setting the INPUT

tag attribute TYPE to text is incorrect, as the TYPE attribute of the 

INPUT tag actually provides a password TYPE which I believe will 

automatically substitute the letters for asterisks for you. If you have 

any more HTML queries then you might want to take a look in HTML Code 

Clinic list which has just opened, which might be a more suitable 

place to put this type of question.
