<input type="password" name="prompt"/>

What's the slash doing there?

Closing the Tag!
Instead of doing
<input></input>

you can just write <input/>
Thats valid!
I tried this and it works for me :

HTML Code:

<HTML>
	<HEAD>
		<TITEL>Test</TITLE>
	</HEAD>
	<BODY>
		<INPUT type="password" name="prompt" />
	</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks sgt for replying.

I think I didn't make it clear.
What I want is when I type in prompt(inputbox in vb) it will filter the character to *.

Code:

HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--hide

var password;
<input type="password" name="prompt"??? />
password=prompt('Please enter your password to view this page!',' ');

if (password=="dead")
    alert('Password Correct! Click OK to enter!');
else
   {
    alert('Your Dead');
    }
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

Ah Ok now I understand what you want to do! Open a JS Prompt that is supposed to act like an Inbox with type set to password.

I am sorry, I dont know of a way to do this!

Why dont you just create a form where a user can enter Username and Password. Looks better imho.

Sorry for not being more of a help here!

You cannot do that. Simple.

So what are the other way of prompting an input box to ask password?
Im sorry for stupidity, I'm very new at this thing.

It's not possible. End of discussion. Make a page that prompts for a password (not in a popup). Submit the page to the server. If it's correct, show the real page.

Well, that's not entirely correct. It is possible by making the server emit a 401 - Authorization Required response. The typical way to do this is the .htaccess file in Apache. This will make the browser pop up a box asking for username and password.

But it's not possible using JavaScript.

Thanks for the good advice CornedBee. I think I just make a page that ask password and not pop up.
