Hi,
Probably a very easy question...😶
I have a text box named Question 1. But the text box area is blank and I want my question in the text box so everyone can read my question . How do I do that?
regards,
Arjan

Hello arjanr,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I show/hide a textarea when a checkbox is clicked?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi Arjan,
First a text box shouldn't have the name 'Question 1' as spaces aren't allowed in input names (they are OK in Labels).
If you are using CFv5 then there is a PlaceHolder label option in the elements.
If you are using CFv4 you can simply set a value for the element. This has some problems if you want to make sure that a different value is submitted. There is a FAQ on PlaceHolder labels that will give you more info.

Thx for the reply. I find it difficult to understand all the words used here in the forums and written tutorials :?. I'll try to work my way through towards the goal I have in mind putting questions in the forum.-)

First off, Chronoforms calls it "Placeholder Label" when every other html form on the planet uses the term "Default Value" or "value". This I find quite problematic. Secondly, while attempting to use this archaic method of actually showing text in the form field, I have been totally unable to get it to work after several hours of wasting my time on this. Thirdly, I find it quite irksome to search for ANY UP TO DATE DOCUMENTATION that is in ANY WAY pertinent only to find that there is nothing even remotely close that isn't at least a version old, or more - THEN find posts where I can get my answers for $.
So I am going to make something very clear. I HAVE BEEN a paying customer in the past. I am not now, nor do I plan to pay you a damn cent for a product that you continue to pile layer upon layer of asinine complexity to and then want people to PAY for it. REALLY?
I have a form that I have been using quite successfully for a number of years that for unimportant reasons, I need to convert to a different format. It's clear to me that this project is more concerned with nickle and dimeing people to death as opposed to actually providing a real service.
THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME AGAIN!! I won't forget it.

Hi sberry,
I'm not clear that you actually asked a question?
In my mind Placeholder labels (or whatever you choose to call them) are fundamentally different from 'default values'. They are set up with some JavaScript that removes the label when you start to edit the input, and also when you Submit the from checks to see if the value of the input is still set to the Placeholder - if it is, then it removes the placeholder text before the input is validated.
The result of this is that the one value that can't be submitted is the placeholder text - so it can never be the default value for the input,
Writing the script to make this work in ChronoForms v4 took quite some time - probably half-a-day to a day and as a result I chose to sell (for $5) the code that makes it all work. Of course you are not required to buy that, you are free to write your own version; or to use CFv5 which has the functionality built in - in my limited tests that seems to work OK.
