[SOLVED] Initial value text area

[liamloveslearning]

Hi,

Im not sure if this is in the correct category so i apologize in advance;

My problem I feel has an easy solution im just coming unstuck trying to find it, I have a form on my webpage which contains initial values, like examples of what people will be able to type in there; Now what I want is for when people click in the text area I would like the initial value to dissapear; ive seen it done somewhere before Im just not sure what i'd google;

Thanks for any help

<input type="text" name="myfield" value="Initial Value" onFocus="this.value=''" />

 

You'd have to put an if statement if you only wanted it to clear the field if it said 'Initial Value'.
