Details

In the following, if you first press the "print values" button, you'll see that
the values of the text field and the password field are set to 'hello'.  If you
then press the "change values" button, you'll see that the password field's
value is not changed.

<html>
<body>

<form name="form1">
<input type=button name="but1" value="print values" onclick="printValues()">
<input type=button name="but2" value="change values" onclick="changeValues()">
<BR>
<input type=password name="password" value="hello"><BR>
<input type=text name="text" value="hello"><BR>
</form>

<script>

var fld = document.form1.elements;
var len = fld.length;

function printValues() {
	dump("\nnumber of fields = " + len + "\n");
	for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
	    dump("\n" + i + ". name = " +
	    fld[i].name + ", value = '" +
	    fld[i].value + "'")
	}
	dump("\n");
}

function changeValues() {
	fld[2].value="goodbye";
	fld[3].value="goodbye";
}

</script>

</body>
</html>

Just checked in a fix.
QA contact needs to be reassigned to white box tester - memo sent to
gerardok@netscape.com.
Note for QA:

A great set of tests for form element methods and changes to form element
attributes is available at:

  http://blueviper/forms/test.html

For example, to test out changes to a passwords "value" attribute, select the
PasswordInput form the list box on the left.  Enter the desired new value in the
"value" input.  Click on the "Set" button next to the value input.  Click on the
"Get" button next to the value input.

You can even keep track of the status of these attributes and methods (if they
are working or not, and on what platforms).  Click on the Status buttons to find
out how.

This testing tool has been tested and designed for Windows gecko only so far.
