Disapearing login text

[imported_JakeC]

Another login text question. here is my login prompt code:

<table width="227" background="images/login.jpg" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" height="33">

<td valign="top" align="right">
<form action="http://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/member.php" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login" readonly="readonly">
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="8" value="username">
<input type="password" class="bginput" name="password" size="7" value="passwor">
<input type="submit" class="bginput" value="Login!"></td></form>

</table>

What code do I add to make it so that when the user clicks once in the text input field the text disappears? As it stands right now when the user clicks in the field they have to delete the text before they can input their information. Thanks in advance.

Example:

now you see it


now you don't

In the input tags, onClick="if (this.value='username') this.value='')". Untested but I think that works.

Well, I gave it a try and that wasn't it. I tried inserting the code that the above pictured site uses to make it work on their site but it doesn't work for me either. Does this involve java script?

Make sure you're copying and pasting, the '' at the end is not a "

Or try this:

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="8"
    value="username" onClick="if (this.value='username') this.value=''">

This is Javascript...and BTW I just noticed a bug in my previous post so try this one.

yup
that works

filburt1,

You rock! Thanks a bunch. This was my last obstacle before launching my site so within a day or two I should be going live. Thanks.

someone should release that in a mod?
