I have a page where a person can edit their account information and one
of the things to edit is a password. I'd like to be able to pre-populate
this field with something to indicate they have one already, but when I
put something like this in the page load:
password.text = "xxxxxx"
The box still loads with nothing in it. I'd really like to have those
password mask dots in there instead of nothing to indicate there is an
existing password. Can this be done? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Yes, this is a security feature, since otherwise the password would be in
plain HTML, which isn't so secure.
You can write javascript to populate the field. This would require you
emitting your own javascript to set the 'value' of the HTML element. This
would of course also result in the password being in plain text in the HTML.

True, unless I just use a dummy value to indicate there's something
there (which was my plan).
Thanks. I was afraid it would be a javascript thing. For now I think
I'll just leave it as-is because I don't feel like kludging it like that.
Thanks for the response!

I've marked up song lyrics with the <pre> tag because it seems the most
appropriate type of markup for the type of data. This results in
inefficient use of horizontal space due to UA's default rendering of
<pre> in a fixed width font.
To change that I'd have to specify a proportional font family, thereby
falling into the size pitfall that is associated with any sort of author
specified font family:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
