Hi Guys, i spoke to ben about this before, and i thought i would try and have a go at it myself. but as i do not know the first thing about javascript and not being able to find anything on the internet i thought i would ask here. i currently have a product search box on my shop which is made up of the following HTML. CODE Code: <h3>Product Search</h3> <p></p> <form action="index.asp?function=SEARCH" method="post"> <input name="search" type="text" value="Type Search Criteria + Enter" size="25" class="searchbox" /> </form> <p></p> as you can see i have it so that in the contents of the search box it says "Type Search Criteria + Enter" but the problem is the user has to delete all whats in the box before they type anything in what i would like to happen is that when someone clicks in the search box it automaticly deletes "Type Search Criteria + Enter" allowing them to enter a product without having to delete anything. also how hard is it to get the background colour of the search box to change? Thanks in advance
Add an onfocus handler, on the search box! HTML: <h3>Product Search</h3> <p></p> <form action="index.asp?function=SEARCH" method="post"> <input name="search" type="text" value="Type Search Criteria + Enter" size="25" onFocus='this.value="";' class="searchbox" /> </form> <p></p>
