Does the cktextarea exists ? in :
models/fields

Because if your component do not use it, cook will not include it.
Simple as that.

Regenerate you component with a textarea inside, or take it from another component.
I guess this is the problem.

Thanks for the reply, yes it does exist. I am intending on creating my own ckpassword type but if its not changing to even the default ones I think this might hinder me...

For me it is working in a fresh install.

Are you editing the correct form ?
edituserdetails.form
signupform.form <- THIS ONE

By the way I saw a misspelling (county instead of country). just a remark for you.

oh whoops, I have just noticed that i am infact editing the wrong form, as I have multiple versions of the form I didnt realise they were in the same xml file... My bad, thanks for the help very much appreciated.

Oh and its not a spelling mistake in the UK we section areas by county. I do not need to define the country.

Thanks again and sorry for wasting your time.

You can create PHP static such as JHtml in the ckpassword file.

Otherwise, better with JDom,
copy the cktext field, just add the parameters sent to JDom :
..
'modifiers' => array(
   'type' => 'password'
)
...

Not tested, but should work. It is by memory. Let's see if it does not enter in conflict because 'type' is already defined. It might be outputed twice. To test.

... The power of JDom !!!
Other possibility, create a new JDom plugin, and call it from your field. (Take the example from textarea).
When you have done it, you can also PR on github your control

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
