Hi @DBear,
I thought that that snippet is from a bit of code from Javascript Password - Switch or if/else? - #11 by ugomena,
But I just tried to look for it in the original post and could not find it as I have it.
So either I picked the idea of the double = vars up some where else or butchered it by accident. But it works !!! so go figure
{pwd = password = thisName.value;
Also you do not want to remove it. All the code works as I have given it.
What they want to do is adjust it. I have posted what they need to do above..
