[SOLVED] Making text in a text area disappear onclick just once


Nexus Zero

Recommended Posts

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?

<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;}"
