    // #login-box password field
    $(\'#password\').attr(\'type\', \'text\');
    $(\'#passwo         


        

Answer 1

Simply this:

this.type = 'password';

such as

$("#password").click(function(){
    this.type = 'password';
});

This is assuming that your input field was set to "text" before hand.
