In this article I will explain with an example, how to show hide Password using EYE Icon in TextBox with jQuery.
The EYE Icon will be created using Font-Awesome Fonts and will be displayed next to TextBox.
When the EYE Icon is clicked, the TextBox will be toggled from Password TextBox to a Normal TextBox and vice versa respectively showing and hiding the Password Text.
Showing Hiding Password with EYE Icon in TextBox using jQuery
The HTML Markup consists of a Password TextBox and an HTML SPAN which has been assigned with Font-Awesome EYE Icon CSS class.
The EYE Icon HTML SPAN has been assigned with a jQuery Click event handler.
When the EYE Icon is clicked, the CSS class is toggled as well as the TextBox is toggled between a Normal TextBox and a Password TextBox by setting the Type attribute value.
