p:password or h:inputSecret

[dmunzopa]

Hi everyone:

I have two questions:

1. 1) Which Primefaces version the tag p:password have the atribute "feedback" ?

• 2) I'm using h:inputSecret instead p:password, and in some browser the -> ###### (Values for the input text )
  IE 7.0 -> white squares. (horrible character like an incorrect string value)
  Firefox 3.6.15 -> black circles, normal password type.
  Chrome 10.0 -> Small black circles like "·····".

Does anyone know why this happens?

I'm using JSF-2, Tomcat 6.0. and this config.

Code: Select all

xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui">

Thanks for your time.

For 1, PrimeFaces 2.2+ has feedback option.

1) Thanks Optimus for the answer

2) I have found a posible solution.

• I think the problem is due to a bad character's encoding,the default font-family, with JSF at my project, is "Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans,Arial,sans-serif", and it's posible that in some browsers the character is not valid for those fonts.

The solution that I have used is: Adding a generic font-family style for the <h:inputSecret >. Like style="font-family:sans-serif;"

<h:inputSecret id="j_password"style="font-family:sans-serif;"
label="Password" value="#{loginBean.j_password}"
required="true" />

Anyway, I will try with the <p:inputSecret> too and check If I have the same problem.
