POPassword-Box not showing any content

Body
copied!<p>I have a small websolution that needs the user to input a password. I have two input boxes </p> <pre><code><input type="password" runat="server" id="m_txtPassword1"/> </code></pre> <p>If I set some chars to the Value-property of the control like this:</p> <pre><code>m_txtPassword1.Value="someChars"; </code></pre> <p>The password box is rendered empty. No bullets are shown. If I look into the rendered html-source, also no value-tag has been rendered. If I change the type to </p> <pre><code><input type="text" runat="server" id="m_txtPassword1"/> </code></pre> <p>the chars are shown. Is this by design? How can I disable this feature?<br> Please note, I don't want to put a real password into the value-property, I only want to show the user that there is already a password set, and this is IMO done best with some 8 bullets in the input-control. But for this, I need the possibility to set the value-property of the control.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>For all, having the same problem: I have tried to declare <code><asp:textbox id="m_txtPassword1" runat="server" TextMode="Password" /></code> with the same result. Also <code>m_txtPassword1.Attributes["value"]="someChars"</code> has not helped.</p> <p>It seems that this is realy not possible. </p> <p><strong>As a workaround</strong>, I declared the password-boxes as plain html without the runat="server" and have set the value-property in markup (via two properties from the code-behind). Not nice but I really want to show the user that he has already entered a password.<br> Another workaround would be to set the value through javascript on load.</p>
