Hello,

Is there a way to automatically remove the default field text from text and html/text fields? I have 3 fields...

Name

Email

Message

 I just want the default text to disappear when a user clicks into the field.

I was able to achieve this for the DNN Search textbox by adding  onblur and on focus to the Textbox line and a small bit of JS.

<asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server" CssClass="SearchTextBox" Columns="20" MaxLength="255" Text="Search" onblur ="DefaultText(this, event);" onfocus ="DefaultText(this, event);"  style =" color:#434343" EnableViewState="False"></asp:TextBox>

 <script type = "text/javascript" >
    function DefaultText(txt, evt) {
        if (txt.value.length == 0 && evt.type == "blur") {
            txt.value = "Search";
            //grey
            txt.style.color = "#BFC0BD";
        }
        if (txt.value == "Search" && evt.type == "focus") {
            txt.value = "";
            //Black
            txt.style.color = "black";
        }
    }
    </script>

If anyone knows how to do this for the form and list 6.0.2 module it would be awesome! I'm not great with xslt and I'm not sure where to start really.

Best Regards,

Mario

I'm going to answer my own question as I have witten a JS that took care of this issue maybe someone else will find it helpful.

1.<script>
2.   $('input#dnn_ctr472_Default_Form_Name').focus(function () { $(this).val(''); });
3.   $("input#dnn_ctr472_Default_Form_Name").blur(function () { if ($(this).val() == "") { $(this).val("Name"); } });
4.   $('input#dnn_ctr472_Default_Form_Email').focus(function () { $(this).val(''); });
5.   $("input#dnn_ctr472_Default_Form_Email").blur(function () { if ($(this).val() == "") { $(this).val("Email"); } });
6.   $('textarea#dnn_ctr472_Default_Form_Message').focus(function () { $(this).val(''); });
7.   $("textarea#dnn_ctr472_Default_Form_Message").blur(function () { if ($(this).val() == "") { $(this).val("Message"); } });
8.</script>

 You will have to replace the module id with what your page is showing when you inspect the element. You may also want to switch out the default text for whatever you used in the form settings. Hope this saves someone a headache. 

Mario
