Summary	0017205: If the password used on installation doesn't have at least 8 characters, no error is thrown
Description	When installing phplist, it asks to set the password for the admin user. When that it's done, it says the password should have at least 8 characters. But, if you use a trivial password (phplist, as it's used on demo.phplist.com) with less than 8 characters and click "continue", no error nor nothing (not even on the servers logs) is shown. Is not intuitive at all what is happening. At first I tried with a different browser, and then I realized it might be that the password is less than 8 chars long. What was confusing for me was that I just tried the demo.phplist.com site, so I tried using the same password. It might be a better user experience if some of the conditions are not met, to say that loudly instead of just doing nothing with no error nor feedback

michiel 09-06-14 10:39 administrator ~0053885	Mariela, can you make the style of the #initialisecontinue button change when it is enabled? The functionality here is as follows: the button is disabled by default (on pageload) and when the length of the password reaches 8 characters the JS will remove the disabled attribute from the button. At the moment, in both situations, they look the same, which is confusing (see screenshots)

~~user5081~~ 09-07-14 00:23 ~0054189	ok, i added the style in https://github.com/phpList/phplist-ui-dressprow/trunk i don't know if my change solve this problem. I have to do an installation of phplist to check.

~~user5081~~ 07-08-14 23:48 ~0054533	Michiel the style is working, when it turns to enable, but there is a bug: if you write 8 characters button turn to enable BUT, if you then delete some characters it doesn't turn to disabled again.
