I have an input field that is by default set to type=”text” so that the word Password can be displayed in it. I have the following to change it to a password field when the user selects it, which works fine in any browser I have tried except Internet Explorer.

onfocus="this.type='password';"

How would I go about making this work in IE?

    IE does not like to change the type of an element dynamically, one solution might be to replace the element entirely. However I would suggest you just use a input type password so any non js users would still get the same functionality and live without the watermark.
