How can I hide the password entered via a JavaScript dialog prompt?

Question

How can I hide the password entered by a user in a dialog prompt in JavaScript? For example, using something like

var passwd = prompt(\"Enter Password : \",          


        

Answer 1

I have tried to solve the same problem in the following way:

In the main page the user shall press a button in order to launch the request pressing a button will open a popup windows by the JavaScript command window.open("password.html","passwordRequest",windowStyleVar), where windowStyleVar may be:

var windowStyleVar = "top=10, left=10, width=250, height=200, status=no, 
                     menubar=no, toolbar=no scrollbars=no";

password.html looks like:

    
    
    


    
type the password 

The window.opener.processRequest() call is very important as it returns the control to the main page forcing main page javascript to complete the intended action.
