Nexus Zero Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 At the moment, I'm using the following line of code to making the default text in a text area disappear onclick. The problem is that I want it to disappear only on the first click, rather than have all the user's text disappear on subsequent clicks. onClick="document.Things.ThingBest.value='';" How would I accomplish this?

gurroa Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 <html> <script>var i = 0;</script> <body> <form name="Things"> <textarea onClick="if(i == 0){document.Things.ThingBest.value='';++i;}" name="ThingBest">Test</textarea> </form> </body> </html> and second if you can bet on not using z-index ever onClick="if(!document.Things.ThingBest.zIndex){document.Things.ThingBest.value='';document.Things.ThingBest.style.zIndex=1;}" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64058-solved-making-text-in-a-text-area-disappear-onclick-just-once/#findComment-319298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
