java: change form input

[signature16]

I want to have the value of a text input field say something, but when the users clicks on the box to enter their own info....everything needs to go away allowing them to put their info in.


How do i do this?

Have a look at the source code of the HowtoForge front page, especially the form where you can subscribe to the HowtoForge newsletter. It does exactly the same.

<script type="text/javascript">

function ClearMe()
{

document.getElementById("Text1").value=" ";
}
</script>

<input type=text name="attribute1" class="attributeinput" size="15" value="First Name" id="Text1" onclick="ClearMe()"/>
