Hi. Is there a different?

Code: Select all

Player password: <input type="password" name="password" size="15"><br>

and

Code: Select all

Player password: <input type="password" name="repassword" size ="15" mask="*"><br>

why is that MASK used for? becouse with mask and without mask when type is password then all characters is hiden anyway.

You don't need the mask if the input type is 'password'. I think the 'mask' part goes back to an earlier version of PHP or something. I'm not sure it does anything now.

Actually, it is more helpful if you do make a new thread for each new question For one, you are much more likely to get answers since people will see it is a new, unanswered thread. And second, putting them all in one thread makes them much less searchable. We have quite a knowledge base here all at the reach of a finger through Search, and we want to keep adding to it! Don't worry about making tons of threads in this section, as this is a "Free for All" section for people to ask any and all questions they want to, where the typical thread spam rules don't apply

I don't think mask is an actual HTML attribute, so it shouldn't do anything at all.

[Jackolantern]

"Mask" was an old, non-standard HTML Password attribute used to change the mask character. It has not worked since the First Browser Wars. The standard never accepted it as it was felt that it was better to stay with the standard display of the element. I think it quit working back when most of the form styling attributes were dropped.
