Interactive CGI form

If you would be so kind, please go to

and see the form setup ... how the form field name is in the text field to
begin ... is this possible with DW?

Something like that is easy to do and is done in JavaScript.

Thanks for the info ... easy for you ... not for me
I imagine the script needs to be at each line ... any idea of what that script is?

Simple...set the value of the textbox in the HTML, as for removing the
content when you click on the box, that is a javascript issue. Look
at the code below and go through it, if you dont understand what it
means then you started the wrong way round, learn code first, learn
tool second.

Dreamweaver is not a replacement for knowing HTML, or Javascript etc.

Try this:

<form>
<input name="email" VALIDATOR="emailPat" type="text" alt="email
address" value="your email address" ONFOCUS="if(this.value=='your
email address')this.value='';"
ONBLUR="if(this.value=='')this.value='your email address';">
</form>

Cheers,
Tom

It doesn't necessarily have to be on all of them. See

Thanks Gary ... when I put
function restoreDefault(){
if (!this.value){
this.value=this.defaultValue;
}
}
function clearDefault(){
if (this.value==this.defaultValue){
this.value="";
}
}

in the "head" it is visible on the top of the page!?

text moves around and doesn't disappear and reappear. I think I understood
that all three things go into the head ... wrong/right

What you have is working for me in both Firefox and IE6.
