You could try something easy like
<input type=text size=20 title="Name of City">
...which should make a small "tooltip" box containing "Name of City" pop up
when the cursor is moved over the field
Or you could try some fiendish JavaScript like this. The text box is
initally set to readonly (which would gray out the contents) and when user
clicks in the box you detect this with an onFocus event that clears the
content and removes the readonly/disabled attribute to allow editing:
<script>
function clearit() {
document.form.textbox.readonly=false;
document.form.textbox.value="";
}
</script>
...
<input type="text" name="textbox" size="20"
title="Test input" readonly value="Name of City"
onFocus="clearit();">
You could go a bit further and have an onBlur to check if anything was put
in the box, and put back the initial value and readonly attribute if not....
Bj
Then an onBlur could check if anything had been entered
