closed not resolvedI have this simple form here http://artists.firstfridaysantacruz.com/wp-content/themes/newscast/ap/test.php
When the user clicks in the text field, it blanks out. How do I prevent this from happening? I was able to prevent this behavior by adding onfocus="var x=this.value+' '; this.value = x;", but this adds a blank on the end of the input, so not a real solution.
Is there some class similar to class="text_input is_empty" where is_empty is is_full instead or something?
Any help appreciated.
You can add the "is_full" class support by editing js/custom.js. Open up the file and search for:
if(classes.match(/is_empty/))
{
if(value == '')
{
surroundingElement.attr("class","").addClass("error");
send.validationError = true;
}
else
{
surroundingElement.attr("class","").addClass("valid");
}
nomatch = false;
}Replace it with:
if(classes.match(/is_empty/))
{
if(value == '')
{
surroundingElement.attr("class","").addClass("error");
send.validationError = true;
}
else
{
surroundingElement.attr("class","").addClass("valid");
}
nomatch = false;
}
if(classes.match(/is_full/))
{
if(value != '')
{
surroundingElement.attr("class","").addClass("error");
send.validationError = true;
}
else
{
surroundingElement.attr("class","").addClass("valid");
}
nomatch = false;

Hi Peter,
I just want to prevent the text field from blanking out when the user clicks in it. In other words, if the text field has value="some value", I want "some value" to remain visible in the field when the user clicks in the field. Right now it goes blank.
I was able to prevent this behavior by adding onfocus="var x=this.value+' '; this.value = x;", but this adds a blank on the end of the input, so not a good solution.
I think this default behavior works if the field says something like "enter your name here" or "enter your email here", but in my case I am preloading the field with data from the database using php and I want the user to be able to edit the field.
Thanks,
Steve
