HTML "value" boxes...

[RichL]

Say i have a search box. I want it so inside the text box it originally says "SEARCH HERE", then when people click inside the box to type in a word - the text "SEARCH HERE" disappears so they can type in there text easily..anyone?

NOTE: it can also "highlight" the text "SEARCH HERE" if that can is easier..thanks

[hwnd]

input type="text" name="box" value="Search"
onBlur="if (box.value=='') { box.value='Search'; }"
onFocus="if (box.value=='Search') { box.value=''; }"

That's a much more elegant solution than the hotch potch code I came up with in the main forum ;)
