[jQuery] Focus event and problem width IE

[Jamal Arbib]

Hi
I want to change the input's  type, from "text" to  "password" using the 
focus event. I use the following jquey code

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
         $("#passwd").focus( function() {
             $(this).attr("value","");
             $(this).attr("type","password");
        } );
});
</script>

Il woks nice in FireFox but not in IE ! I tried diffent a way like :

   $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'password']").focus( function() {
             $(this).attr("value","");
             $(this).attr("type","password");
       } );
    

or :

document.getElementsByTagName("password").setAttribute("type", "password");

Here is my html code:


<form  method="post" id="loginID">
    <input name="password"  type="text"  id="passwd"  value="Your 
password" />
   ......             
</form>

thanks for your help.
