<input type="password" ...> styling with jQuery

Question

Hi all!

Is this possible to change the default styling of password field? I mean replacing the default stars-symbols with something like • or etc. jQuery or simply css/html? Thanx.

Answer 1

The masking characters are set by the browser and operating system and you can't customize them with CSS.

Here's a thread that covers it more. You could fake it, but it will break if JavaScript is disabled.
