Syntax
Following is the syntax for −
Creating an input password object −
var P = document.createElement("INPUT");
P.setAttribute("type", "password");
Let us look at an example for the Input Password object −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function createPASS() {
var P = document.createElement("INPUT");
P.setAttribute("type", "password");
document.body.appendChild(P);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Create an input field with type password by clicking the below button</p>
<button onclick="createPASS()">CREATE</button>
<br><br>
PASSWORD:
</body>
</html>
Output
This will produce the following output −
On clicking the CREATE button and typing in the newly created password field −
In the above example −
We have a button CREATE that will execute the createPass() method on being clicked by the user −
<button onclick="createPASS()">CREATE</button>
The createPass() method uses the createElement() method of the document object to create the <input> element by passing “INPUT” as a parameter. The newly created input element is assigned to variable P and using the setAttribute() method we create a type attribute with value password. Remember, setAttribute() creates the attribute and then assigns its value if the attribute doesn’t exist previously. Finally, using the appendChild() method on document body we append the input element with type password as the child of the body −
function createPASS() {
var P = document.createElement("INPUT");
P.setAttribute("type", "password");
document.body.appendChild(P);
}
