    Hello:

    I created a custom login screen with a dropdown list of users and a textbox called Password where the TextMode=Password.  The textbox is empty at Page_Load in IE7.0 but shows 4 stars at Page_Load in Mozilla Firefox.  This will confuse the user into thinking a password has already been entered.  How can I make sure the textbox is clear for all browsers?

     I am using VB code behind.

     Thank you in advance!

    Hi,

    I think that problem is that Firefox remembered your password when you tested application and that other user won't see it. You can try Ctrl+Shift+Del in Firefox, check "Saved passwords", click "Clear private data now". After that check your site again. 

    This will clear all saved passwords. To clear only some go to Security in Options and click "Show passwords". Delete those that are relevant to your domain/computer.
