I see on the TWHL shoutbox 'name' input there is an initial value which says 'Shout here'. Just wanted to know how this effect is made. Is it just a regular Textarea command or does it require seperate coding?
Thanks

It's probably some OnClick javascript thing.

can you invlude the this.select function please

Post #91044
I think that's a native function. I just pulled the above from the source, and the only places I seem to find it are in textboxes. I suspect it may be to set focus inside the textbox?

My shoutbox msgarea is coded like this (jus to help anyone else trying to do it):
onFocus="if (this.value == this.defaultValue) { this.value = ''; }"
>Shout here!</textarea>
this code is just added to the textarea feild, slightly diffrent to the TWHL one, but works just as well.
onFocus="if (this.value == this.defaultValue) { this.value = ''; }"
>Shout here!</textarea>

Mine is mangled. Just like yours. I changed its size. Nothing to extreme or difficult.
I may have to steal that code now, Dan.
