here is the tips to show text “Password” instead of “********” in the password field in the form. A better approach to the traditional method.

I realise that. Ahhh... I see what it is now... It is to show the word "Password" until the user clicks on it to enter a password, then it goes back to *** mode...

I thought it was to show the user what password they had entered in plain text until they focussed somewhere else

The description, and title of this link didn't explain what it was you were working towards...

There's a reason to hide the password. I don't want a site that presents me with my password, witch I already know.
The problem comes if someone is by any chance looking at my monitor and sees my pass...

So, no thank you. :-)

it doesnot show the password man...it only show the field as the password as caption in itself..but when you type the password it shows "********", no one will see the actual password

I think a better title, and a description that was more than a slightly longer title might have helped the confusion...

The only reason to do this is if you have a really bad design. There should be a static label that shows explicitly where to enter the password. Once the focus is removed and the password is entered, the only way a person would know where to enter a password is if they start typing into the field and see stars.
