Is there a script for when you click a textbox the text which was there will disapear leaving the box clear for vistors to write in!

You could do it like this:

<input type=text onclick="this.value='';">

But that might get annoying if they leave the box and then click on it again, since it will erase what they have already written... ;)

You could also make the function run only one time, or use onMouseOver instead of onClick.

I'm assuming you have default values and you wish to have this cleared once the user clicks on the text box, try this:

<script type="text/javascript">

function clearText(field) {
if(field.defaultValue == field.value)
field.value = ""
}

</script>


<input type="text" value="enter here" onfocus="clearText(this)" >
