Oddly enought, even with your first code fix... the "write somethig here" text still shows up (in the orginal default green color) and stays on the screen till typing, on the ipad.

Ill try that Lynne, thanks so much for being helpful and answering questions. I feel kind of bad, like I am filling up the forum with questions... maybe everyone does this in the beginning. I hope that these will help others in the future, which is why I try to follow up my post with answers when I figure it out for myself as well. Its a pet peeve of mine when searching on how to do something, you find someone else asked the questions and then follow with just "never mind, I figured it out"... Im like come on, help a brother out... how did you do it. ha ah.
