QuestionHow do you set the box to do something when the right password is entered?
Community AnswerUse JavaScript. Your script would look something like this: myinput.onchange = function() {if (myinput.value == "mypassword") {doSomething();}}. But if you are actually making a password, do not code it using JavaScript. Anyone can look at the JavaScript for your password. Use a server-side language such as php.
