The MD5 thread has become confused. The post originally began as a virtual 
keyboard thread.

Cyrill and other posters have it correctly. Web forms (client side) have the 
challenge of being visible, having to retain the password even if for fleeting 
moment in time, and computing the MD5 hash.

My point is that MD5 on web pages is not about security and does not increase 
security in the least.

Thanks,
Mike
