Password FieldHave a textbox that's in Password mode on a user creation page. Have
several dropdowns that cause a PostBack out of necessity on this page. I cannot separate them. When one of these dropdowns changes, the textbox's value is lost. How do I prevent this? Thanks the best way would be to remember it from the original postback, so it only
passes over the network once. otherwise you can use a hack, and set the control's "value" attribute. -- bruce (sqlwork.com) Show quoteHide quote "James" <minork***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:ODtJUcjEGHA.516@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > Have a textbox that's in Password mode on a user creation page.

Losing the value of a password field is pretty standard. If the password field is the last one on your page, it should in theory be the last field a user fills in, so it geting emptied shouldn't really happen.

password type in javascript, that it does get set correctly. Maybe you need to post your code then. I bet your users will like the fact that their password is being sent in clear text in the browser even less then having to retype their password, since that is the only way to preserve it in between posts. I would recommend either accepting that passwords will be blank between posts (this happens pretty much in every other registration system), re-organize your registration in such a way that the password gets its own page and it is the last page in the registration process, or code using the javascript solution and have the password be sent in clear text - which should be the last resort.
