Re: [Solved] Changing Input Field Type

[Josh]

I believe that jQuery does not allow you to do this for security reasons.
However I know you can do this with pure javascript.

$("#formPass").focus(function() {

$(this).css("background-color", "white");

$(this).css("color", "#333333");

var contents = $(this).val();

if(contents == "Password") {

$(this).val("");

//$(this).attr("type", "password");

//

// Lets forget jQuery for a second.

var pass = document.getElementById('formPass');

pass.type = 'password';

}

});
