Okay ive got this little email form thinggy and it has stuff type in like name: put your name here but i want it so when you click your mouse in it, it goes all blank.. hows it done? :)

in the head tag

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function doClear(theText) {
if (theText.value == theText.defaultValue) {
theText.value = ""
}
}
//-->
</script>

on the form feilds you want it to happen on

onFocus="doClear(this)"

Eg

<input type="text" size="15" name="url" value="http://" onFocus="doClear(this)">

Hey great it works thanks!! :D

I think this one is cooler....It has text in it....but when you click on it (tot write text) the text goes away, and when you don't write something, and move to another thing, the text comes back!

here's the code:

onFocus="if (this.value == 'your value') this.value = '';" onBlur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'your value again';"

eg:

<input name="name" maxlength="20" onFocus="if (this.value == '.:Name') this.value = '';" onBlur="if (this.value == '') this.value = '.:Name';">

Good Luck!
