You could do something as simple as this with PHP:

Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php if (!isset($_POST['name'])){echo "Default";} ?>" />

So if the value of whatever, in my example a POST or SESSION variable.. then it'll echo default text. If this is what you want..

ok see i already have it in an echo so will this be right

    echo '  Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="if (!isset($_POST['name'])){echo "bhawap";}"'."\n";

this is my whole code

  echo '<div class="hd2"><center><font color=#666666><strong>Soccer Kit Generator</strong></font></center></div><br>'."\n";
    echo '        <form method="post">'."\n";       
    echo '  Name: <input type="text" name="name" />'."\n";    
    echo '  Number: <select name="number">'."\n";        
    echo '   <option value="0" selected="selected">0</option>'."\n";                  
for($i = 1; $i <= 44; ++$i) {          
    echo ' <option value="' . $i . '">' . $i . '</option>'."\n"; }          
    echo '                  </select><br />';       
    echo '          <input type="submit" value="submit" />'."\n";

You may want to echo the value if it does exists!

ie

Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php if (!isset($_POST['name'])){echo 'Default';}else{echo $_POST['name'];} ?>" />
