Okay, I found a problem with using that. After you have typed something in a text box then clicked off, it goes grey and itallic, then say, if you made a mistake and you clicked back in there, the whole thing would delete, is there anyway to stop this?

Cheers.

Yes, there is. But before I make the code, do you want it to turn back to grey? Or just stay black?

I want it to be grey before you enter anything, then when you click on it and enter stuff to be black, then, when you click off that for it to stay black.

Cheers,
Andy.

Ok:

Code:

style="font-style: italic;color: grey;" onfocus="this.style.fontStyle='normal';this.style.color='black';if(!a){this.value=''};" onchange="a = true;"

Then, in the <head> part of your document, add:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var a = false;
</script>

Good luck!

Just a note, 'grey' is not a valid css color name in all browsers, just some. Use 'gray' instead.

Good point! Here:

Code:

style="font-style: italic;color: gray;" onfocus="this.style.fontStyle='normal';this.style.color='black';if(!a){this.value=''};" onchange="a = true;"
