Cursor Goes Beyond in Text Input in IE10 about hideshowpassword

[tylersticka]

Hi @iosulfur,

Sorry to hear you're encountering this issue.

The goal of the innerToggle functionality is to have an inset password visibility toggle with a great touchscreen experience. An unfortunate side effect of this is that the options for changing its relationship to the <input> element are somewhat rigid. Because of this (and the relatively low usability impact and audience for this particular bug), there is a low likelihood we'll be able to address this specific issue for users of IE10 without making the experience worse for everyone else (though we welcome pull requests from folks who are smarter than us when it comes to solving these sorts of problems).

If this issue is a show-stopper for you, I have two recommendations you might consider...

Disabling the functionality for IE10+

Microsoft actually ships their own password visibility toggle in IE10 and up if you're using Windows 8. As long as you are not hiding their controls (see here), you could use the enable option to only activate the plugin for other browsers:

$('#example').hideShowPassword({
  enable: ! isIE // Just an example, insert your own browser detection logic
});

Obviously browser detection is not ideal, but since there's no way to feature detect for the password toggle, I can't see any other way to pull this technique off.

Roll your own solution

The innerToggle is neat, but you don't need it to use the plugin. You can markup and style your own toggle and controls. See the third example in the demo.

Thank you. Disabling it for IE10, and allowing their browser implementation to persist is a feasible solution. I like the plugin, and continue to use it. IE10's behavior is acceptable given the application's market, but I will offer the disabling option to the designer.

Great plugin. Thanks for the support.
