Hi all,

I have a CGI script that is due to be used to change passwords.

I have the bulk of it, but I need a little help with one aspect of it - how do I take the new password entry and change it to '****' in the entry boxes?

I then need to perform some kind of validation to ensure the same word exists in each textbox - both the entry and confirmation boxes.

Any clues would be appreciated - I am sure I saw a thread dealing with this but cannot find it anywhere...

Thanks
 
SIMPLE! I had to figure this one out myself a couple of days ago too.

<Input type=password name=pass size=15 maxlength=15>


notice the type=password. change it to password, not text. name is whatever. size is whatever. maxlength is whatever. peace out i am gone.
 
Thanks Zas,

I'll try it out.

Later
