Well first off, why aren't you using an INPUT element with type="password" ? It sounds like that's exactly what you're after.

I can't use INPUT element because i am using sigma grid (www.sigmawidgets.com) in which i have to display a password field in grid cell but it doesn't have facilities to display password as a asterisk in cell .

So is it possible that we can display a string as asterisk in cell and get value in backend as same string that user enter using some hidden field or something else.

Thanks and regards,

What CAN you use? A normal INPUT type="text" element? If so, you might be able to do some JS magic with an onkeyup function that replaces the last character with an asterisk after copying it to a hidden form element.
