this question may sound stupid, but no one has ever taught me this. I have an HTML input for a password field, and you can only log on with one specific password with JS. Could someone please give me a syntax on assigning a variable to document.getElementById(""); syntax or a different syntax? Thanks.

I think you would be better asking these types of questions on stackoverflow. This site is for more subjective questions about programming, not specific language features. – GrandmasterB Sep 15 '12 at 17:18

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

I guess you are trying to use password in your page. If the purpose of registration is to confirm that the person exists and has supplied a valid email address then at the first instance you should email them a random password rather than having them choose their own and use it immediately.

Here is a good article that walks you through JavaScript: Password Validation using regular expressions and HTML5.

In addition you may get a wealth of information about HTML DOM Password Object here.
