Is 'Password' a reserved term?

[TomTees]

Is 'password' a protected/resevred term in either PHP or HTML?

 

Is this code valid...

 

<li>

<label for="password">

<em><img src="images/required.png" alt="required" /></em>

Password:

</label>

<input id="password" name="password" class="text" type="password" />

</li>

I don't think it is, but for conventions sake I would prefix it with something to make it easier to follow.

Reserved php words

 

And the use of <em> in an image seems odd to me, as it is used for rendering text, not images...

No. Why are you asking?

The <em> is a CSS usability trick that I learned.

Because it seems to me that the author of a PHP book I read said it was and so he always used "pass1" and "pass2" on his forms.  (Or so I recall?!)

@tomtees; I'm intrigued about this 'trick', what exactly does it achieve, as I said, em is for manipulating text..

 

And WRT passwords, would it not be easier to assign a name to a textarea or input that's relevant to the context of the application your writing.. Seems like the easier way to go to me ;p

My code actually needs to be updated since I changed the label alignment, but when the labels were left aligned, I need <em>.

 

 

See this article about 3/4 the way down...

I have no clue what you are saying?!

 

I used a text field to gather the password.  Why would you use anything else?!

The <em> could be left in for semantic reasons, although they were more useful when styling left aligned labels and hugging asterisk images.

 

Anyways, the article explains everything.

Well instead of <input type="password" name="password" /> you could have something like <input type="password" name="AdminPassword" /> or <input type="password" name="LoginPassword" />

 

Purely something to distinguish any ambiguity if your coding lots of things, it just makes the context of what your programming easier to work with and semantically speaking, makes things easier to read if your code is split up in OOP structure.

 

Cheers for the link, good read...

Okay, I follow what you are saying now.

Yeah, if you want to become an expert on CSS Forms, that is one of the better articles/tutorials out there.  That and it also takes in to account Accessibility which is always good!

 

Happy reading,
