Make passwords visible

I am developing a form for users to change their password. The password is not visible because the field input type is “password”.

Now I want to add an icon to the fields so users can toggle in showing/hiding the password.

All examples I have found are using javascript to change the type of the input field to "text". Looks very easy. They reference the input field by its ID or NAME.

With Formspider Mobile the ID and NAME can not be set. Instead the field gets a random ID and fs-name attribute.

Can you give me a hint what to do?

Hi,

i have solved this as follows:

1) Create a datasource for the password field.

2) Create panel passWordHidden to show the field as a passwordfield.

3) Create panel passWordVisible to show the field as a textfield.

4) Add a button to toggle the panels with m_panel.replacePanel( in_panelName_tx => 'mainPanel', in_oldPanelName_tx => 'passWordHidden', in_newPanelName_tx => 'passwordVisible');
