title: HTML text field to behave like a password field
body: <p>I have a registration form, and i want to use a password field. The problem is, i want it to have a placeholder saying "Password" at the begining so i'm using a text field instead. I need to turn the characters into asterisks or black circles like a password field when the user starts typing.<br>
  I've tried changing the "type" attribute to "password" through javascript, so i'm stuck.<br>
  Is there a simple way to resolve this with css? or does anyone know of a good javascript(preferably jquery) to hack this?<br>
  Thanks</p>
