right Im having an issue.. I have a hidden password field on an html form, that can be seen if anyone views the source. Any ideas on how I can hide this? My developer friends tried a database option but that didnt work.. so I'm looking for a simpler alternative.

cheers, its not exactly what Im looking for.. Im sorry to be so vague in my first post..
I need a way to hide a hidden password field. This password is used in a post operation on a script hosted elsewhere. Its a simple sms send operation, and we dont want anyone to steal our password.

use a java code to hide the source or obscure it

that sounds pretty good to me.. I havent explored that option but am searching google now.. if you know any good resources, I'd appreciate the links..

Use a flash-login ;)

have tried, flash.. that was my first choice actually.
unfortunately that brings up two other annoyances..
1. using loadvars for the post operation wont work as it is on a different domain.
2. Get URL defeats the whole objective of hiding any password data. - and for some reason POST using GETURL is just the same as doing a GET, hmm..

right found this... it obfuscates the html using javascript.. it will probably challenge / deter the entry level inquisitor..
