Select Default Text In A Textbox
Jul 4, 2002
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 have a Jquery code defined like this
// Let's add it to textarea this time
$(".cnt").focus(function()
{
// Check for the change
[Code]....
but still when i select a textbox that has "0" it does not select the whole content of the textbox. i went through a breakpoint and it goes through this line
cnt.CssClass = "cnt"

I wish to know if is possible to change the selected option in a SELECT selecting a determined option into another SELECT in the same form.
E.g: When I select the option "Istruction" in the SELECT named "A" I wish the SELECT "B" change the default state from "empty" to "other"

I want to know how to reset ASP.NET TextBox to default value that is on the click of a button I want to reset the textbox to default value (i.e., the value the textbox loaded with on page load) on client-side, something similar to document.forms[0].reset. I don't want the entire form to reset, but a set of elements such as textboxes to reset to default value.

I've been trying to make a default value in a text box go away when clicked.
The general consensus on this forum and on the rest of the internet seems to be that this code:
<script>
function clearText(field){
if (field.defaultValue == field.value) field.value = ''
else if (field.value == '') field.value = field.defaultValue;
[Code]....
But I wonder how I can add a color change to this function. They default value "enter email address here" would be in grey, but when the user begins to type, it would be black. then deleted what'd been typed, back to grey.
document.getElementById(email_box).style.color='#000000'; .....is that too nave..? It didn't work no matter where I put it. And dreamweaver didn't like it when I tried to copy the syntax of the first function, but make it change colors instead. It furthermore hated me trying to assign two different functions to the onClick event.
It also didn't like at all when I tried to apply two classes to the same object..

I'm working on a site and for my login area, instead of using labels for the textboxes, I wanted to just put default text in there.
The JS that I am using is supposed to only enter the default values in the textboxes if they are blank. Unfortunately, I think the JS runs before the browser puts the "auto remember" stuff into the boxs, so the JS will always put the default values in the boxes.
The problem is that, when its time for the browser to enter the auto remember stuff, it sees that there is already stuff entered, so it doesn't enter the previously-remembered login information.
I'm pretty sure that what I'm trying to do is possible, but maybe I'm going about it the wrong way. Could somebody suggest the appropriate way to do this? code...

I am doing a lottery project in which i have 10 textbox and i want to add contents of each textbox and show result in another textbox say 11th textbox.
I am having the fallowing codes below on jsp page.
I want to add contents of textbox from(n50,n51.....n59) and show result in another textbox named (n60)
My question is that the valus stored in textbox is numeric and when i enter the value in any two of the textbox say named (n50 and n51) then the addition of its value must be seen in the result textbox say (n60) here. it does not wait for another textbox value which is left blank. the result of addition should be displayed simelteneously as i enter the value in text box.

I'm trying to figure out how to preselect a country in a form, I have this so far:
--------------------
<form name=order>
<select name=country>
<option value="aaa">aaa</option>
<option value="aaa">bbb</option>
<option value="bbb">ccc</option>
</select>
</form>
<script>
document.order.country.selectedIndex=1;
</script>
---------------------
But I would like to be able to preselect a country based on the option value.
Something like (this doesn't work obviously):
document.order.country.selected.option='bbb'
The default value for the country will be supplied by a previous form, so it changes depending on what has been selected in the previous form.

After an hour of hacking the closest I could get to
detecting the current value (Not key, but value) of select statement
that works both in Firefox and IE is :
selectElem.options[selectElem.selectedIndex].firstChild.nodeValue
Which is SICK, but I would be more than happy with it, except @ %$*@
Internet Explorer selectElem.selectedIndex is somehow always 0 (ZERO).
Now, for my purpose, I am desprate enough to accept just getting the
default (initially 'selected') index of my drop down (select). Is there
anyway to do that?

I have a select list #technology. Due to some back end processing it's default value is "0" (Please Select) I am trying to write a validation rule to make it required. The problem I'm having is that if you hit submit when it shows "Please Select" which has the value="0" then make a different selection it's not removing the error msg. Also if you hit submit multiple times when it is showing Please Select it just keeps adding the error msg

I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:
<head>
$(function() {
//function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....

How do you folks handle <select> lists with no default option selected? I have mocked up a simple sample but in reality I may have a dozen different categories. (Link:Do you disable all other hidden <select> elements so that their values are not sent in a POST request?

I have a single select dropdown in my application which is hidden for one type of user group. Before a user from this group can save any data, I have to explicitly select the default value of this dropdown for him as this dropdown is not visible to him.
Issue: In IE, this default value doesn't get selected as it is not populated but works fine in Firefox. Is this a jQuery bug?

Is there a way to override the default behaviour for single selects which makes it impossible to unselect a selected item?
What i need is: when someone clicks on an option, if it isn't selected is should be selected, but if it's already selected then it should be unselected.

i 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.
