Input field set to password display shows character but traces nothing

Question

Hi,
I have a password field on key frame to which I navigate when the proper sequence of key strokes is entered.  My guess is that the password field is getting the last key stroke as it appears to have a single character in it when it appears; however, setting its text = "" has no effect and tracing its text returns nothing.
Is there a way to ensure that the a text input field is clear?
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

thanks for your reply.
I am pretty sure that the list where I get the data contains values. I tried it by outputting the in ordinary table as shown here:
<table>
<c:forEach items="${test}" var="test" >
<tr>
<td>
<c:out value="${test.id}"/>     
<c:out value="${test.firstName}"/>
<c:out value="${test.lastName}"/>
</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>     
</table>
It outputs properly but when I tried this, it just output NOTHING FOUND TO DISPLAY.
<display:table name="{firstName=Bill, id=3, lastName=Joy}" id="test" class="list">
<display:column style="width: 5%" title="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="id" value="<c:out value='${test.id}'/>" <c:if test="${param.id==test.id and param.method!='Save'}">checked="checked"</c:if> style="margin: 0 0 0 4px" onclick="radio(this)" />
</display:column>
<display:column title="First Name">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${param.method == 'Edit' and param.id == test.id}">
<input type="text" name="firstName" style="padding: 0"
value="<c:out value="${test.firstName}"/>" />
</c:when>
<c:otherwise><c:out value="${test.firstName}"/></c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</display:column>
<display:column title="Last Name">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${param.method == 'Edit' and param.id == test.id}">
<input type="text" name="lastName" style="padding: 0"
value="<c:out value="${test.lastName}"/>" />
</c:when>
<c:otherwise><c:out value="${test.lastName}"/></c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</display:column>
</display:table>
