How can I use Jquery's Coolinput to show the hint "Enter your password" in a password field, but then use stars to hide the input when user types?

Question

pretty self explanatory...

Answer 1

Maybe you can use jquery impromptu plugin, follow the link for a detailed explanation... in a nutshell, you would be using a form's standard input type password.

Impromptu

Something like this:

var txt = 'Enter your password:<br />
      <input type="password" id="jPassword"
      name="jPassword" value="" />';

function mycallbackform(v,m,f){
    if (v){
      $.prompt('your password is of '+ f.jPassword.length + 'characters');
    } 
}

$.prompt(txt,{
      callback: mycallbackform,
      buttons: { Accept: true, Cancel: false }
});
