Hello, 

Yeah, I just hacked up this:

. "<input type=\"text\" value=\"Username\" onfocus=\"this.value=''\">"
                       . "<input type=\"text\" value=\"Password\" onfocus=\"this.value=''\" onfocus=\"this.type='password'\">"

What im trying to do is turn that type to a password..so I can see the text...is that possible.

  I usually do something like the following to clear the value.  Keep in mind that when the type is set to password your text will always display masked.

  DiRN

  <input onfocus="clearText (this);" />

  <script type="text/javascript">

    function clearText (el) {

      if (el.defaultValue == el.value) el.value = "";

    }

  </script>

  Subject: [nycphp-talk] Removing Text from an Input Box

  Hello, 

  This is more of a JS question, but I'm going to ask it anyways.

  I just got the book, "Pro Javascript Techniques" (Apress) and what sucks is that many of

  the examples do not work.

  What I want to do is have to input boxes, a username and password.

  Instead of having labels next to them such as:

  Username: [INPUT BOX]

  Password: [INPUT BOX]

  I want to have the text inside the box [INPUT BOX: Username]. etc...

  When the user mouses over, I want to make that "Username" text dissapear so they can type their username in.

  Any help?
