Auto remove "Inital Value"

In the How can we help text box I have an initial value set to "Please provide as much detailed information as possible".

Is it possible with chronoforms that when the user places the cursor in the box to enter their text, the initial value disappears. Currently they have to manually delete this entry before they can add their own.

Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul,

You can do this with JavaScript - it gets a bit tricky if you need to validate the content because you need to check that the content is something other than the default value.

PS I have a paid tutorial on this - see this FAQ.

Thanks Bob

Looks way too complicated for me. Think I'll find another solution.
