Hi y'all
So I'm working on some more javascript UI stuff, and have been thinking
a lot about password boxes.
I know that on Macs, if you hit backspace in a password box, it deletes
everything in the box - presumably if you made a typo you should just
start over.
I really like this functionality and want to give my password boxes it.
I suppose I just need to set it up so that it's like:
<input type="password" name="foo" onchange="checkBackspace(this);"/>
... and just declare the function checkBackspace() to detect if a
backspace was put in, and if so, clear this.value.
Any ideas on how to find out what the character input was?
Thanks!
Jason
