password type textboxes - I don't want them cleared during validation

[Keith G Hicks]

asp.net 2.0

I have several text boxes and set one of them as a password type and put a
validator on it and some other text boxes. When I enter data into the boxes
violating the validators intentionally. Then I click my submit button. The
validators show what's missing or incorrect but my password text boxes
clear out. How can I prevent this?

Thanks,

Keith

This is standard behaviour:

There are a couple of hacks round it, but I really don't advise them...
