password field

Simple login form but my password field will not display with asterisks. it displays the entered text. I have the field type set to password - any ideas?

<cfform>

<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">User Name:</th>
    <td>
      <cfinput type="text" name="username" id="username">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">Password:</th>
    <td><label>
      <cfinput type="password" name="password" id="password">
    </label>    </tr>
</table>

 
    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />

</cfform>
