Form text question

Hi,

I have question.

Here is code.

<form  method="post" action="">
<textarea id="form" type="text" onFocus="value=''" name="comments" cols="40" rows="5">
 Some text here...
</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

HTML:

I had code which was something="Some text here..." and I didn't need to put onFocus="value=''" and "Some text here..." in form text and all worked like this.
Know somebody something about it? I hate google when I can't find simple things like this... it was something like textinput="Some text here..." or something like that...

THX

 

Hi SecretDesign,

Judging by the question you mean something like this:

The thing you want is the Value="some text here..." then with the onFocus='value= " " ' it changes to empty when the user selects the field

 

Hi,

answer was placeholder="Your text..." But this don't work in IE.
How to get "Restore default value if nothing is entered" in in IE without "Allow blocked content" when IE restrict script running?
