Question

i have the following simple script

<input class="input"  type="text" name="password" style="color: #797272;" 
       value= "<?php if ($_POST[password] != '') {echo '';}
         else {echo 'Ծածկաբառ';}?>"   
        onclick="if (this.value === this.defaultValue) {
                   this.value='';
                   this.style.color='black';
                   this.type='password';
                   }" 

      />

it works fine, but in IE7 it doesn’t change the input type.

this.type='password'; doesn't work

could you help me? thanks

update

and what can i do, if i want to show default value in thet input?

If it is in IE 6, it seems that you cannot change the type… you can however replace the entire element:
