Maintaining values of password fields across callbacks

I have an UpdatePanel that needs to maintain the value of several TextBoxes
with TextMode=Passwo rd. Since the browser clears all password fields
client-side, I obviously need to use JavaScript to do this. Can someone help
me? Thanks.

Which browser is this (IE, FireFox) ? How are those fields cleared ? Are
they part of the update panel ? AFAIK there is nothing special with
passwords.

My first move would be likely to change them to textboxes so that you can
see how it behaves (and to see if it works as expected). For now I'm not
sure that the fact they are for passwords has something to do with the
problem...

I believe that they are already TextBoxes, judging by the OP's statement of
"several TextBoxes"...
For now I'm not sure that the fact they are for passwords has something to

It has - this is the default behaviour for TextBoxes which have their
TextMode set to "Password".

Fortunately, it's simple enough to work round:

The browser is IE7, and the password fields are cleared by the browser,
there is no code that I use to clear them. I know that it is only the
password fields that this is happening to because the UpdatePanel contains
password and non-password fields, but only the password fields are cleared.
I have seen many other websites in which the password fields get cleared
after a submit button is clicked, so I am pretty sure it's not just me. If I
make them regular textboxes, then I obviously won't have this problem, but
we do make certain fields password fields for a reason. Any ideas? Thanks.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
