PASSWORD FIELD - SOMETHING NEW IN 8.5

Trying to setup a field which displays those little star characters as the user enters text? Finding it difficult to do? Then don't - and let ToolBook's new Password Field do it for you.

This new object was added to the Text Fields category in ToolBook Instructor 8.5, and will work in both Native ToolBook as well as in DHTML.

To use it, you will need to just drop it on your page. The tricky part is determining what the user really typed.

If you are using this in Native ToolBook and will be using OpenScript, you will need to access the ASYM_TEXT property of the field to get the real text out of it.

If you are using this in the Actions Editor you just need to access the regular TEXT property and it will give you the real text rather than all of those little stars.
