Set the text as the value, then set it blank onFocus...

onFocus(javascript:document.f.inputfield.value = ""); and
onBlur(javascript:document.form.inputfield.value ="Username";);

  Subject: [nycphp-talk] Removing Text from an Input Box


  Hello, 

  This is more of a JS question, but I'm going to ask it anyways.

  I just got the book, "Pro Javascript Techniques" (Apress) and what sucks is that many of
  the examples do not work.

  What I want to do is have to input boxes, a username and password.
  Instead of having labels next to them such as:

  Username: [INPUT BOX]
  Password: [INPUT BOX]

  I want to have the text inside the box [INPUT BOX: Username]. etc...

  When the user mouses over, I want to make that "Username" text dissapear so they can type their username in.

  Any help?
