Thank you for your input.. I definitely want to stick to the proper syntax... I guess in the beginning of learning the correct syntax that I feel like Godzilla stomping all over toyko :lol:

Moving forward, I have been keeping the dictionary open all the time on my right monitor.

I really do appreciate your responses to my various post as I get on board with how things are supposed to be done. :)

Hi,

I was told to advertise my little, free password lib here and I thought I'd better obey ;-)

You can find it here halfway down the page.

A new version will probably be available soon, so make sure you can easily replace the password field in your stacks, if you use it.

Best,

Mark

There are various password field handlers about, such as Mark's handy one - whichever way you tackle it, you should also check what happens if someone pastes into the password field and make sure that plain text isn't shown and/or breaks anything by having (for example) multi line input where there should be a fixed maximum length (if you are checking the entered data against a database record, perhaps).
