javascript - How to make a Textarea act like a password field

Question

I am trying to make a textarea look like a password field. In webkit browsers I have found below attribute to make it

-webkit-text-security : circle    

But it does not work in other browsers. Any cross browser alternative for this...?

Answer 1

You can use JS for this, define a variable and store textarea value in that and replace contents in textarea with any special character. You 'll have actual value in JS variable which could be used to submit the form or validate etc.

For this, you can write a function for keydown event.
