How to change the dots in the input type password to your own?

Question

JavaScript

I want to change the "dots" by which the browser overwrites the input if it has a password type, with my own, for example, with asterisks.
And I really need it to work in IE 8

as I immediately thought.. use instead of type ="password" just type="text" and in JS make a mask on onKeyPress event...
