greelmo,
yes, with caveats:
in order to mask input in a "prompt" you would need to simulate by opening a new window with an input type=password. you could then pass the input value back to the opener window if necessary.
* use of a new window for this operation would not halt script execution as a real prompt() would.
if you're only concerned about IE compatibility, use showModalDialog(), which will halt execution.
=========================================================
try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }
