Mask instead of Replace?
<p>Im trying to figure out how to mask text in a text input as though its a password field, only its not.
This is for a personal experiment and I unserdtand it may sound strange but its something I'd like to try, Ive used the replace method to change characters to asterisks only when I alert the value, it alerts * when the asterisk should only be a mask and the alert should show the true value, does this make sense and if so has anybody an idea of how to do this? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
