There are different field types provided by SageCRM by standard. One thing we don\u2019t find is Password type. The difference between normal text field and password field is that what is entered into a password field shows up as encoded character on the screen. This is of course, to prevent others from reading the password on the screen.
\nNow keep all the encoding and decoding stuff apart. Would it be possible to display text in textbox as encoded characters similar to that of the password fields? Yes; here is an example.
\nCreate a ClientFunctions.js file in the custom pages folder.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add the below code in the ClientFunctions.js file.
    \nfunction VisitorOnload()<\/em>
