[Plugin: Contact Form 7] clear input labels

This would be a useful option indeed.

I have tried this post but can’t figure out how to let this work with contactform 7.

hmm, I had the same problem and got textboxes working like this:

a) add this javascript to header.php

function clearText(field)
{
if (field.defaultValue == field.value) field.value = ”;
}

(thanks https://www.bradino.com/javascript/clear-textfield-default-value-onclick/)

b) in the contact form 7 plugin folder, edit file /modules/text.php

c) find line 76
$html = ‘<input type=”text” name=”‘ . $name . ‘” value=”‘ . esc_attr( $value ) . ‘”‘ . $atts . ‘ />’;

d) between ‘input’ and ‘type’, add:
onFocus=”clearText(this)”

worked fine for me, bit of a hack tho

??

Dont forget :

onBlur="restoreText(this)"

and

function restoreText(field) {
	if (field.value == '') field.value = field.defaultValue;
}
