# Interesting question: how to hide text in textbox?

Posted by wei on July 24, 1999 at 04:26:48:

When a user types password in textbox, how to display "*****" instead of the real text? The visible text change should react to the user's action concurrently, e.g, when use removes a char, the visible text should do removing at the same time. Any simple solution?
A simple way to hide the text is to make backgroud color = foregrand color in the textbox, but it looks like user is typing a string of space char.
