Password Masking & Background Color for Multiple Rows in Tabular Form

Question

Hi all,
I have a requirement of making a column in Tabular form, having multiple rows, masked(password field). I also want to give bg color to this field indicating that its a mandatory field.
I am unable to accomplish both at a time in my page. I am using Apex 3.2.
Waiting for your valuable comments. Thanks,
Regards,
Sandeep

APEX_ITEM API doesnot have a password function, but input fields of type password are available in HTML.
So you would have to change the field type to password in JS
That is from :
<input type="text" ...change it to
<input type="password" ...If you were using jQuery it would have been simpler, but to do it in native JS it is a bit more hard work.
Anyway here goes (a quick check in a tabular form seens to work fine)
var password_array=document.getElementsByName("f04");
for(var i=0;i<password_array.length;i++)
   password_array.type = 'password';
password_array[i].style.backgroundColor = 'RED';
+Replace the "f04" with your password field's array name(use firebug to identify the field name)+
Does that solve your problem ?
