I want an onclick event such that, when my visitors click on any field on my form, the default value disappears.

Code: Select all

<input onclick="alert('replace this alert with a function');" />
You could use addEventListener (and addEvent for IE) though I think you'll need to figure out the basics first.

You'd better use the onfocus event (Tab navigation ;) )

Agreed, I love sites that utilize blur and focus events. :drunk:

w3c say not to use inline CSS and JavaScript, which is sometimes a pain in the ass. But it would give something like this if your element has, let's say, an id value of 'myID'

Code: Select all

onload=function()
{
document.getElementById('myId').onclick=function()
{
this.value=''
}
}
