Trying to use the [URL] I would like to beable to ignore default values, but am sort of stuck. I already looked through all 42 results after searching for how to validate while ignoring default value. I have tried:

Is there a way of telling the validation plug-in to use it's defaulterror messages when the title on the control is set? The defaultvalidation error messages are good for most of my cases so I'd rathernot have to explicitly set the messages for each and every one ofthem.For example, if I attach a "required" validation rule to a textbox andset its title to something, I don't want that title to appear as theerror message when they leave the field blank and I'd rather not haveto explicitly set the validation message

View 7 Replies View Relatedi am trying to add some guidance text to the login and password fields on my website (similar to that of facebook).I dont want to use the value attribute because users have to delete the original text. I just want the text to disappear when the user clicks in the login box. I was wondering how to achieve this, maybe by using javascript? or is there a much easier way?

You know how there are a dozen ways to have tabs (tab1, tab2, tab3, etc.) that when you click or mouse over them the text in the area below the tabs changes according to each tab?
Well I've been trying to find some code that allows you NOT to have a visible tab1 but still allows you to have the text below it. Essentially it would be the default text on the page, and then when you select a tab, then the text in that space changes to match that tab. but until then its just default text that isn't tied to any tab. Since all the codes seem to employ the Unordered list, there doesn't seem to be a way to have some default text with a corresponding <li> list element (the tab).
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? I wish I could show you my web page but I'm a newbie and not allow to include URLs in my posts yet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen a user has entered text into form fields and hits the Save button, the text is saved into local storage. When they hit the Load button at a later date, the text fields are populated.If the user does NOT enter text and hits the Load button, the default empty text fields are populated with the word "undefined." How do I keep the field blank? Because if they do this accidentally, they'll be hitting the back button repeatedly to delete the word in every field (this is on an iPhone).Here is the Load code:

I've got a <textarea> and I want to put some default text in it.....easy enough...... but when the user clicks on the box (to put their own text) I want the default text to be highlighted.
How can I get the text highlighted when the user clicks on the textbox area?
I need to clear the default value from a textarea when a user clicks on the textarea and then replace it if the user clicks away from the textarea without modifying it. I have managed to accomplish this with the textfields in my forms but I am struggling to get the textarea element to mimic this behavior. Here is the script I am using:

I'd like to use the jQuery validation plugin as seen on the following example: [URL]
But it doesn't work properly if I use inline/in-filed labels.
Is it possible to use image rollovers instead of the default text that comes with the plugin? [URL]
View 8 Replies View RelatedAnyways I have a textarea that I have managed through the magic of google to have the default text clear out with the onfocus and if the textarea is left blank to put the default text back in with onblur. I now have a new problem that is a little CSS and a little JS I suppose. I want the default text in the textarea to be grey and the user submitted text to be black. I know it is possible because... well facebook has it.
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Invite via Email: <br />
<cftextarea name="emails" cols="50" rows="3" value="Separate Emails by Comma" onclick = "if (this.value == 'Separate Emails by Comma') this.value = '';" onblur = "if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Separate Emails by Comma';" ></cftextarea>
</td>
</tr>
I don't actually have to put the text in the JS Function, but to have it pull the default text from attribute that would be awesome to.
A form on my website's contact -us HTML page has two fields
1) subject
2) message
When the page loads for the first time I want these two boxes to display messages like "**Enter subject here**" and "**Enter Message here**".
I found that we can do this by using the "value" attribute of the text box, is this the best way ??.. What alternatives do I have to achieve this ?
I have some default text paragraphs in Microsoft *.doc format. I would like to populate a HTML textarea with the text paragraphs by clicking a button.
View 5 Replies View RelatedFirst off, sorry if this is the wrong section. Adobe Forms isnt exactly Web Development, but its the only place I could find to post about javascript. If this isnt the correct section, Now, onto the question (please note, I am inexperienced with javascript). I have an Adobe form with a default text like this I have javascript that looks like this, so that when tabbing into the field, it skips past the default text:
function SetEnd (text)
{
if (text.createTextRange)
{
var FieldRange = text.createTextRange();
FieldRange.moveStart('character', text.value.length);
FieldRange.collapse();
FieldRange.select();
}
}
SetEnd(this);
I was wondering if there is a way to make it so the default text cant be changed at all. Even better would be an alternative way of having the default text there but not "part" of the field, but at the same time, not being able to type over it either.
I am using counter to count characters in text area. Now the problem, if the number of characters calculated = 160 characters, then when I send the paragraph to my mobile phone, I get 162 characters, I got the reason, but can't find solution yet. Example: write normal paragraph in the text area without clicking on "enter button",when you are typing the paragraph, if the current word faced the end of the line, the whole word will be dropped to second line and so on, please see red star indicator.The text will be organized itself inside the textarea, but at each line if the word dropped down, I noticed 2 spaces will be added to the previous row.

I am looking for a way to put all CSS values on my selected elements back to its default. I was wondering if anyone has maybe done this before and if not has any idea's to get me started.
The idea is that when I use for example:
The elements within .setDefault will return to its default font/color/height/width etc... so basically all posible values.
I just want to ask if how could i validate a text or string if it has a
space between characters?
