    Hello everyone, this will hopefully be a simple question.

    How do I get this form to clear what is in the input fields when a user clicks on it:

    Thanks!

    You don't want to but the text next to the box?
    <td width='125px' align='left'><font color='red'>Name:</font></td>
    <td align='left'><input name='Name' type='text' class='textbox-style' id='Name' size='35' maxlength='50' value='" td>

    I'm sure theres an easy answer to put in the box and the it clears, I've seen it before.

    This should fix it.

    <input type="text" class="input" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'*Your Name':this.value;" value="*Your Name" name="Name"/>
