When you set the TextMode to 'Password', actually the textbox is rendered as below

<input type="password" name="TextBox1">

If you set TextMode to 'SingleLine, the textbox is rendered as below

<input type="Text" name="TextBox1">

Both HTML INPUT controls are different.

Also the type property in the INPUT control is read only and cannot be changed using JavaScript.

But You can use two different TextBoxes, one for Text mode and another one for Password mode. And show and hide them using JavaScript.


See some sample code in the following link.
