I am designing a login page as
<div id="body">
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputUser">Email</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputUser" placeholder="Username">

<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<button id="login_button" type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Sign In</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<div id="login_status"></div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
I am usingBackbone.js
withjQuery
to interact with server.
I want to do MD5 hash of the password before sending it to server, is there any built-in function provided by Javascript or jQuery?
there is no native functions, but u can use this function for md5 convert on client - side original by: Webtoolkit.info (http://www.webtoolkit.info/)
function md5 ( str ) {

Short answer: Nope.
Long answer: Passwords should never be sent over an unencrypted channel, hashed or not. It's just not secure enough. You should look at implementing login over SSL/TLS instead.
Another solution is to implement login using a third-party, such as Facebook, Github, Google or other OAuth provider.
But if you have no choice, a hashed password is better than sending it in clear text. If so I recommend using the crypto-js md5 implementation.
The purpose of hashing the password before verifying is: you store only the hash of the password on your server; when someone gives you a password, you hash it and compare that hashed value against the hash you previously saved. If the password is was valid, the hashes will match. Using this method you get two benefits:
If your user-interface is sending only the hash to the server, you completely negate the second benefit since anyone who knows the hashes can pretend to be anyone else by just giving the hash to you. If you are concerned about sending plain-text password from client to server because you don't have in-transit encryption, then you are even worse off because the everyone can see the hashed password that you're sending, and send that same hashed password to your server to pretend to be that login.
As for the MD5 function in Javascript, there's CryptoJS library which works well, already mentioned in StackOverflow: fastest MD5 Implementation in JavaScript

PHP (from the English Hypertext Preprocessor - hypertext preprocessor) is a scripting programming language for developing web applications. Supported by most hosting providers, it is one of the most popular tools for creating dynamic websites.
The PHP scripting language has gained wide popularity due to its processing speed, simplicity, cross-platform, functionality and distribution of source codes under its own license.

JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports event-driven, functional, and mandatory (including object-oriented and prototype-based) programming types. Originally JavaScript was only used on the client side. JavaScript is now still used as a server-side programming language. To summarize, we can say that JavaScript is the language of the Internet.

JQuery is arguably the most popular JavaScript library with so many features for modern development. JQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript library created by John Resig in 2006. It is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify client-side HTML scripting. Over 19 million websites are currently using jQuery! Companies like WordPress, Facebook, Google, IBM and many more rely on jQuery to provide a kind of web browsing experience.
https://jquery.com/
It is one of the most popular JavaScript platforms. It can be used to create a single page application. The development of this framework assumes that all server-side functionality must pass through an API, which will help you achieve complex functionality with less code.
