JavaScript - Simple Toggle Password Using jQuery

In this tutorial we will create a Simple Toggle Password using jQuery. This code can toggle the input password visibility when the user click the button. The code itself use jQuery onclick function to manipulate the textbox attribute by changing the type from password to text. This is a user-friendly program feel free to modify it. We will be using jQuery a JavaScript framework that design to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation. It can do more in a single line of code than JavaScript can do in a whole function.
