The line

<input type="text" name="passwordLogin" value="Password" onfocus="if(this.value=='Password'){this.value=''; this.type='password'};" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Password'; this.type='text'};" size="25" />

works in all web browsers except IE... How can I fix it for IE?

Ok made some changes to still have an error

I want it to work like this like here

<input type="text" name="usernameLogin" value="Email" onfocus="if(this.value=='Email'){this.value=''};" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Email'};" size="25" />

if I dont enter anything it will put the value back

So I tried this

<td colspan="2" id="passwordLoginTd">
     <input id="passwordLoginInput1" type="text" name="passwordLogin" value="Password" onfocus="passwordFocus()" size="25" />
     <input id="passwordLoginInput2" style="display: none;" type="password" name="passwordLogin" value="" onblur="passwordBlur()" size="25" />
    </td>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[

     passwordElement1 = document.getElementById('passwordLoginInput1');
     passwordElement2 = document.getElementById('passwordLoginInput2');

     function passwordFocus() {

      passwordElement1.style.display = "none";
      passwordElement2.style.display = "inline";
      passwordElement2.focus();

     }

     function passwordBlur() {

      if(passwordElement2.value=='') {

       passwordElement2.style.display = "none";
       passwordElement1.style.display = "inline";
       passwordElement1.focus();

      }

     }

    //]]>
    </script>

as you can see the blur does not work =[

ok finally got it thanks to the help needed to remove

passwordElement1.focus();
