Text box onfocus

[rjoseph]

Hi guys

I'm currently using the following code in my text boxes so that if a user clicks on the box the value dissappears:

<input type="text" name="address1" size="44" value="Full name" onFocus="this.value=''">

This works great but is there a way that if the user then clicks on something else (eg a different text box) the original value reappears in the box?

Any help would be fully appreciated

Best regards

<input type="text" name="address1" size="44" value="Full name" 
       onfocus = "this.value='';"
       onblur = "if ( this.value == '' ) this.value=this.defaultValue;" />

If for some reason that doesn't work, you could instead do

<input type="text" name="address1" size="44" value="Full name" 
       onfocus = "this.value='';"
       onblur = "if ( this.value == '' ) this.value='Full name';" />
