I created a login page in HTML Layout Painter and i would like to know how to encrypt the input going into a text box.

<input type="password" name="IBIC_pass" size="20" value="">

This should do it.

No, you don't need to decyrpt it.

Unfortunately, I don't know what else is going on in your environment. Are you logging onto the reporting server? Is the logon page set up correctly. Is OPSYS security turned on for your reporting server?

You might want to talk to your WebFOCUS admin about a couple of these things.

If you are running locally, you shouldn't need to run with security and then you wouldn't have to log on.

Sorry, Tami, but I don't have an easy answer to this one.

Tami K,

GOOGLE'd this:

Hide password input with Javascript

Found this:

Password example

Then I viewed source and copied this into WebFOCUS, with a slight modification:

  

<html>
<head>
<title>Keeping Compact Forms Accessible: Example #2: CSS added to markup.</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<style type="text/css" media="all">
body {
	font-size: 1em;
	font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
}

h1 {
	font-size:1.3em;
}

form#login {
	padding:6px;
	position:relative;
}

div#username,
div#password {
	position:relative;
	float:left;
	margin-right:3px;
}

input#username-field,
input#password-field {
	width:10em;
}

div.overlabel label {
	position:absolute;
	top:3px;
	left:5px;
	z-index:1;
	color:#999;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>

<h1>Keeping Compact Forms Accessible: Example #2: CSS added to markup.</h1>

<form id="login" action="#" method="post">
  <div id="username"> 	
    <label for="username-field" class="overlabel">Username</label>
    <input id="username-field" type="text" name="username" title="Username" value="" tabindex="1" />
  </div>
  <div id="password">
    <label for="password-field" class="overlabel">Password</label>
    <input id="password-field" type="password" name="password" title="Password" value="" tabindex="2" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" tabindex="3" />
  </div>
</form>

</body>
</html>

1st part is css
2nd part the input boxes must be in a form with method=post.

I am not a JSer, but, I tried this on 7.6.4 and it works; need to incorporate into WebFOCUS.

Hope this helps...
