For the "password" input type, the actual value returned may be masked to prevent unauthorized use. See the INPUT element definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract void focus ()

Gives keyboard focus to this element.

public abstract String getAccept ()

A comma-separated list of content types that a server processing this form will handle correctly. See the accept attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract String getAccessKey ()

A single character access key to give access to the form control. See the accesskey attribute definition in HTML 4.0.
