Django Show Password Checkbox

Question

I am looking to use Django to create a form with a password field that can be toggled to be hidden or shown. This functionality can be seen on MailChimp at https://login.mailchimp.com/signup. Does anyone know how such a field could be created?

Answer 1

it's just purely javascript :

<script type="text/javascript">
function reveal()
{
if(document.getElementById('box').checked)
   {document.getElementById("pw").type='text';}
else
document.getElementById("pw").type='password';
}
</script>   

<input type="checkbox" id="box" onclick ="reveal()">    
<input type="password" id="pw">
