PASSWORD issue

[paul_mills]

I have the following script.....

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

function GateKeeper() {
var password = prompt("Password required:", "");
if (password) { this.location.href = password + ".html"; }}

//--></SCRIPT>

... How can i modify this script so that users will only view asterisks(****) when they type in a password. Is it possible or are there any alternative?

Thanks

i think such problem can be solved by using following HTML codes <input> with type as password rather than 'text'
<from action='' method=''>
username:<input type='text' size=''>
Password:<input type='password' size=''>
<input type='button' value='login' onclick='yourjs_fxn goes here'>
</from>
