Hey guys...i searced the W3.org site, and I couldn't find an answer...

When you have an box, how do you specify what characters and how big are shown in the box when typed in, instead of being the browser's default?

Thanks.

I don't believe you can change the characters (asterisks) however you can change the font size and font family using css. Just set a class, or use contextual CSS to identify the input tag in question. Different fonts have different LOOKING asterisks, but I don't believe you can change the password default itself.
