Detailed Description

ERXWOPasswordField is just like WOPasswordField except that it doesn't show the actualy password as the value in the input. Instead, it replaces it with a "hidden value" (defaults to '_'). When the form posts back, the value binding is only set if the posted value is different than the hidden value. If you view the source of your html page, you will only see the hidden value (which appears as *'s to the end-user anyway) rather than the actual value. This is not a substitute by any means for SSL. It just adds one small additional amount of security to your HTML.

value the actual password value (required) hiddenValue the string to display when hidden (optional) disabled whether or not the input field is disabled (optional) name the name of the input field (optional) readonly whether or not the input field is readonly (optional)
