If you're using Web Connection 5.0:

<ww:wwWebTextbox runat="server" 
                 TextMode="Password" id="txtPassword"  />

If you're just using plain templates or hard coding the text then Jim's syntax of using type="password" is the right way to go.

Both of this will give you standard browser password characters hiding hte text typed. If you really need to use specific characters you can also do this with JavaScript, but it's not recommended as you could somehow grab the password out of hte page content - browser internal password controls are secure in that the passwords can't be copied out and aren't stored inside of the DOM in some way.

Just FYI - it's better to post support requests on our West Wind Support message board (www.west-wind.com/wwThreads/) since I don't check messages over here very frequently.

Hope this helps,
