placeholder-not-working-for-internet-explorer if input type is password, still its showing the *********
<p>I got 1 answer at <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8628522/placeholder-not-working-for-internet-explorer">Placeholder not working for Internet Explorer</a></p>

<p>and i am using this code,</p>

<pre><code>window.onload = function() { 
    var arrInputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); 
    for (var i = 0; i &lt; arrInputs.length; i++) { 
        var curInput = arrInputs[i]; 
        if (!curInput.type || curInput.type == "" || curInput.type == "text"|||| curInput.type == "password") 
            HandlePlaceholder(curInput); 
    } 
}; 



function HandlePlaceholder(oTextbox) { 
    if (typeof oTextbox.placeholder == "undefined") { 
        var curPlaceholder = oTextbox.getAttribute("placeholder"); 
        if (curPlaceholder &amp;&amp; curPlaceholder.length &gt; 0) { 
            oTextbox.value = curPlaceholder; 
            oTextbox.setAttribute("old_color", oTextbox.style.color); 
            oTextbox.style.color = "#c0c0c0"; 
            oTextbox.onfocus = function() { 
                this.style.color = this.getAttribute("old_color"); 
                if (this.value === curPlaceholder) 
                    this.value = ""; 
            }; 
            oTextbox.onblur = function() { 
                if (this.value === "") { 
                    this.style.color = "#c0c0c0"; 
                    this.value = curPlaceholder; 
                } 
            }; 
        } 
    } 
} 
</code></pre>

<p>that's great, but now i am getting a problem, where in place of showing "password", it's showing <strong><em>*</em>*</strong> special symbol, is there any way to resolve this</p>
