Adding a password field

Password fields are identical in all respects to text fields, except that when text is typed in them, the characters display as asterisks or bullets rather than text.

To add a password field to the form area:

1. Place the insertion point inside the red border of the form area.
   
2. Choose Forms from the Insert menu and then choose Password from the submenu.
   
   Claris Home Page inserts a password field form element and opens the Password Field Object Editor.
   

   

   

3. In the Password Field Object Editor, type a descriptive name for the text field in the Name text box.
   
4. In the Size text box, type a number from 1 to 500.
   
   The number you type here determines the display size of the password field in the browser window.
   
5. In the Max Length text box, type the maximum number (from 1 to 1000) of characters someone can enter in the password field.
   
6. Close the Password Field Object Editor to apply your settings.
