The only problem with this code is that it will clear the textbox everytime
it is clicked on. Say for example I put some text in there, carry on with
the form, then notice I've made a typo in that field. I click on it to
change it and voila! Everything I typed before has vanished!
Maybe something like;
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide
var firstTime = true;
function clearText()
{
if(firstTime) {
document.theBigForm.theField.value = "";
firstTime = false;
}
}
// Dunhindin -->
</script>
I've not put that to the test mind, and it is a while since I did any JS...
Cheers,
Nige
