Getting Password value

[ami7]

Hi,

In my form(.aspx page) i have 2 text fields for password and re-confirm password.
When i click a button it clears the password value .
Is there anyway to get the value back to the password field.

Thanks,
ami.

well, you could:

- make sure viewstate is enabled on the textbox (although, since I havn't used one with passwords yet, I'm not sure if clearing the textbox is the default behaviour)

- store the value in a session variable and fill it in when the pages posts back

- store the value in viewstate and fill it in when the page posts back.

Some options anyway

I don't think that works D. I have played around with passwords some and even if you set the text value to something in your code behind it dissapears by the time it reaches the browser. I checked and my viewstate was turned on, but whenever the page is refreshed, does a postback any value typed in the box is gone.

You may be able to do this with some client side javascript I am not sure. That'l do donkey, that'l do

That would make sense actually: if it were stored over a postback, that would be a security issue.

Could be just the default behavior, but its a behavior that makes sense.
