How's this:<BR><asp:textbox type="password" id="txtPwd" size="15" runat="server"/><BR><BR>is rendered into:<BR><BR><input name="txtPwd" type="text" id="txtPwd" type="password" size="15" /><BR><BR>And of course the browser takes it as type text so its not shown as a password field... uhum? what the heck is up with that!because its textmode=password not type=password.... <BR>I have gotten this to work. <BR><input id="txtPwd" type=password size=15 runat=server/><BR><BR>Well I did not define a size, but it stil should work.<BR><BR><BR>To access its value:<BR> txtPwd.Value<BR><BR>Good Luck<BR>Aaron
