[web2py] Re: text field remove default when user inputs data
You are right. I forgot to mention, I was trying to work it with 'list:string' And it breaks the list. On Friday, February 5, 2016 at 3:32:02 PM UTC-5, Anthony wrote: > > Works for me.

Works for me. Must be a problem somewhere else in your code.

[web2py] Re: text field remove default when user inputs data
Is there a similar widget that works for the string? Because when I do the following, it doesn't work Field(..., widget=lambda f,v: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f, v, _placeholder='Enter your comment here')) On Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 5:04:05 AM UTC-5, thodoris wrote: > > Thnx a lot! > > On Nov 16, 10:42 am, Anthony wrote: > > You can use a comment instead of a default: > > > > Fields(..., comment='Enter your comment here') > > > > though that will display next to or below the input field (depending on > > your formstyle) rather than in the text box itself. > > > > As an alternative, you can set the HTML5 'placeholder' attribute for the > > input field by customizing the field's widget: > > > > Field(..., > > widget=lambda f,v: SQLFORM.widgets.text.widget(f, v, > > _placeholder='Enter your comment here')) > > > > Anthony > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Wednesday, November 16, 2011 4:24:54 AM UTC-5, thodoris wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > > I have a text field in my db with a default instructive text like > > > "Enter your comment here", but i would like when the user tries to > > > input text, the default text to disappear without having to delete it > > > manually -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

[web2py] Re: text field remove default when user inputs data
You can use a comment instead of a default: Fields(..., comment='Enter your comment here') though that will display next to or below the input field (depending on your formstyle) rather than in the text box itself. As an alternative, you can set the HTML5 'placeholder' attribute for the input field by customizing the field's widget: Field(..., widget=lambda f,v: SQLFORM.widgets.text.widget(f, v, _placeholder='Enter your comment here')) Anthony On Wednesday, November 16, 2011 4:24:54 AM UTC-5, thodoris wrote: > > Hello, > > I have a text field in my db with a default instructive text like > "Enter your comment here", but i would like when the user tries to > input text, the default text to disappear without having to delete it > manually
