IE is such a crap!
Tnx for this! :)
Instead of having the textbox type available via JavaScript aka - formfieldname.type, you have resort to hacks and workarounds to appease the IE gods - who think their browers don't have to ever follow W3C specifications that were established darn near a DECADE ago.
IE is always the lowest common denomintator and will be becuase their browsers are flawed. Long live Mozilla!
I also gave the mockpass / mockuser a name "password2" "username2" and did some php code to check these values if "username" and "password" from realuser / realpass are empty just incase the user has javascript disabled.. this way the form still works no matter what.
Thanks very much. Very helpful.
