Hello. Can any one help please.
Is it possible in RSD to have an input field with text within the field to prompt the user to put the right info in? I can do this with an HTML input, but my form is working OK as it is - just need the extra bit adding.

So my useage is to capture a name and email address. there are 2 boxes for first and last names and each have a label attached with a glyph icon alongside. I want the content of the box to say "type your first name here" or similar which will obviously clear when they start to type. Is HTML the only way?

TIA

Hi Philip,
That's odd that they didn't put in a place holder attribute. You can put in after export or add it with JQuery.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
