Placeholder question - Post ID 207044
I have a very small form, with the following place holders.
Name:
Phone Number:
Email:
Services You Require:
The client wants the placeholders to be static. As in.... When a customer of theirs goes to fill it out. The cursor starts after the colon and all of the place holders stay in the fields.
Why they want this? I have no idea.
Can this be done?
Thank you

A little J-Query or JavaScript should be able to handle this.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Hi Eric, unfortunately I wouldn't know where to begin creating the script. Where it would be added or how to implement. There are a lot of files created when the finished product is uploaded.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Can you provide me with your form html, or a link to your form?

You're going to laugh. The form is on the same page as their contact form which is on every page on their site. It's in the main content area not the sidebar. Thanks for having a look.

I'm only providing what you asked for.
I'm not going to determine if it's right or wrong.
For your phone number add this to the code for the input. You'll have to change all of your inputs to plain text fields so the validation won't trip up.
I think you can figure the other ones. Just change the words.
value="Phone Number:" onfocus="this.value = this.value=='Phone Number:' ? 'Phone Number:' : this.value; " onfocusout="this.value = this.value == 'Phone Number:' ? this.value = 'Phone Number:' : this.value; this.value=='Phone Number:' ? "
So you'll end up looking similar to this.
