I would like to insert a descriptive text inside an input element that disappers when the user click on it.
I know it is a very common trick, but I do not know how to do that..
What is the simplest/better solution?
<input name="searchbox" onfocus="if (this.value=='search') this.value = ''" type="text" value="search">
A better example would be the SO search button! That's where I got this code from. Viewing page source is a valuable tool.
