Weakling – Prototype Javascript Password Strength Rails Plugin

Andrew Brown — October 12 2009

I needed to show the password strength when a user writes in their password. I looked around on github but could only find Frane’s Password Strength Meter which didn’t work as I wanted so I rewrote his plugin entirely from scratch.

Hi!
This plugin don't works ok on firefox/linux, because we can't replace innerHTML. You can, with prototype, use "update".
I don't know if this is the better option, by, worked for me.
My corrections are:

In weakling.rb:
==========
< $(name).update(""+strengths['strong']+"");
---
> $(name).innerHTML = ""+strengths['strong']+"";
10c7
< $(name).update(""+strengths['average']+"");
---
> $(name).innerHTML = ""+strengths['average']+"";
12c9
< $(name).update(""+strengths['weak']+"");
---
> $(name).innerHTML = ""+strengths['weak']+"";
14c11
< $(name).update(""+strengths['default']+"");
---
> $(name).innerHTML = ""+strengths['default']+"";
16c13
< $(name).update(""+strengths['error']+"");
---
> $(name).innerHTML = ""+strengths['error']+"";

In weakling.rb:
==========
< "$('#{name}').update(\"#{t('weakling.default')}\");"
---
> "$('#{name}').innerHTML = \"#{t('weakling.default')}\";"
