Does javascript forbid changing the input type from password or to password?

I am using this code on the input element:

onmouseout="
$('#passwordhelp').text('');
$('#rpassword').attr('type', 'password')"

Are you using jQuery 1.6 or above? If so try .prop(). In your case like this (Example):

onmouseout="
$('#passwordhelp').text('');
$('#rpassword').prop('type', 'password')"

Though it won't work on IE8 and below.

IMHO you shouldn't use javascript and jQuery like this. Bind your events on .ready(). But of course it's your choice...

You can't change the property type with jquery in the way you are attempting to do it. You're bumping into a browser issue:
