I think this will work in some browsers, but not all.  I believe to
accomplish this in IE you'd have to completely replace the <input
type="text" . /> with <input type="password" . />.

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?
