Chris Good Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I am wondering if anyone knows how to mask the data being entered into a field? I have a script that looks to a field for a "password" before running the script. I would like the data that is enetered to not be seen. I know I can change the text color to white and then it's not visible, but you can still see what is being typed as you type it. I would like to to show up as *'s or something is possible. Any ideas?

stanley Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Chris: You can get a font which is all bullets, much like what you see on secure login sites, or on some ATM machines. I know there's one called BulletZ, and I can't recall at the moment where I got it from. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRetta Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 With vs. 7, you can also just use Show Custom Dialog which provides a password mask font allowing User input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Does anyone know how fonts like this work over IWP? I'd imagine they wouldn't work at all, esp. if the web client doesn't have the font installed. I ask since the show custom dialog script or the relogin (with dialog) script don't work in IWP, and it would be nice to create a relogin layout where a user could enter a username and password into fields w/o showing the password.

Barbecue Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 You're correct, fonts won't work over the web. Even if they did, it wouldn't be very secure, since the browser user can override the display fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
