Hello I managed to do sucessfully:
$(document).ready(function(){ $("#schnellsuche input").focus(function () { $(this).val(""); }); }); <form action="" id="schnellsuche"> <input class="text" type="text" value="Schnellsuche" /> </form> I'm so proud of me ;-) now I want the default value back in, when the focus is not anymore in the input textbox. Can someone put me in the right direction? thx
