Cheryl beat me to it - I was going to suggest only clearing the box if the value is still the 'default' value - you don't want to clobbber the user's input if they put focus back into the box again! (And using this.value rather than explicitly naming the element as document.formname.fieldname.value is much cleaner :) Cheers Dave P http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ http://wiki.preshweb.co.uk/ ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
