Hello everyone,

So I’m having an issue that maybe I am overthinking about. I have data in my db table that represents a password. I passed a class to the column the data is sent to so that a -webkit-text-security would be used. Sadly, this only works inside chrome (IE, Firefox, etc show the text as is), because jqGrid (from my understanding) creates the input type as “text” and other browsers do not allow text security on “text” fields. Here is a JSfiddle of what I mean: https://jsfiddle.net/estelle/8WpNg/

My question: Is there a way to set a cell/column to have an input type set to “password”?

PS: I am aware of edittype: password. This only affects the data when editing the cell, but once the cell is not selected, it will just show the data as normal.

Hello,

I’m not sure that I understand exactly the problem.
Somme common suggestion – I’m not sure that passing passwords over the web is good idea, since the password can be seen very easy in the response (JSON or XML), but anyway …

It will be very useful if a example with a grid is used in order to understand correct the problem

The grid represent a data in tabular way. In order to hide some information you can use custom formatter and unformatter. The formatter can display **** in the grid, while when editing a unformat will be used to read the data.
You may want to look here:

Another possible solution is to hide the column in grid, but to edit it in editform – look at edithidden property in documentation.

In all cases, please provide a example in order to understand correct the problem.

Kind Regards,
Will

Hello Will,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I’m aware that sending password data isn’t very safe as a JSON/XML. It isn’t super sensitive data. I don’t really have a way to show my problem other than through screen shots. If you want to see more I am willing to upload them somewhere.

In the grid, you have the option to set the edittype to password. When this is done, it ONLY works while editing the cell. Once the cell is not selected, the data can be seen clearly because it then gets set to whatever the format has been selected.

I am aware that I can set a formatter/unformatter, and ultimately I will most likely just do that. I wish I could use an editform, but I cannot.

My question should have been. “Is there a way to keep the input type as ‘password’ even while out of edit?”

Thanks for you help.

Hello,

Please send a pictures and any grid setup and response to support at guriddo dot net.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the description and the test case provided.

Now I understand what you mean.

One possible solution is to use formatter and unformat function.

We have prepared a example which can be seen here , but I should say that this way the data can be seen without any problems with any people with little knowledge.

Please use this carefully.

Kind Regards,
Will

Thank you so much for your help. I was hoping there could be a better solution, but using a formatter seems the be the easiest option. Your formatter looks very similar to mine. I appreciate all of your help.

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. I think this is a good solution, since there is no common css style command which can mimic a text field as a password input field.

Kind Regards,

Will
