disappearing text

for anyone interested in this, i edited form-display.php, and added the onFocus element when the form is created.

mine now looks like this:

case 'input' :

                                        $class = 'input ';
                                        $class .= ( $field_vars['fieldrequired'] == '1' ) ? 'required-field ' : '';
                                        $class .= ( $field_vars['fieldvalidation'] != 'none' ) ? 'validate-' . $field_vars['fieldvalidation'] : '';
                                        $class = rtrim( $class );
                                        $default_value = ( $submitted_value != null ) ? $submitted_value : $field_vars['fieldoptions'];

                                        $form .= '<li>'
                                                . ( ( $show_label ) ? '<label for="' . $field_id . '">' . $field_vars['fieldname'] . '</label>' : '' )
                                                . '<input type="' . $input_type . '" name="' . $field_id . '" id="' . $field_id . '" value="' . $default_value . '"onfocus="this.value==this.defaultValue?this.value=\'\':null" class="' . $class . '" />'
                                                . ( ( $field_error != null ) ? $field_error : '' )
                                                . '</li>';
                                        break;

@ ournewhero That’s excellent! I need to solve the same problem. One thing though, how do you remove the Message box (Text Input Multi line)
I’ve tried to add the

‘”onfocus=”this.value==this.defaultValue?this.value=\’\’:null

case 'textarea' :

					$class = '';
					$class .= ( $field_vars['fieldrequired'] == '1' ) ? 'required-field ' : '';
					$class .= ( $field_vars['fieldvalidation'] != '' ) ? 'validate-' . $field_vars['fieldvalidation'] : '';
					$class = rtrim( $class );
					$default_value = ( $submitted_value != null ) ? $submitted_value : $field_vars['fieldoptions'];

					$form .= '
<li>'
						. ( ( $show_label ) ? '<label for="' . $field_id . '">' . $field_vars['fieldname'] . '</label>' : '' )
						. '<textarea name="' . $field_id . '" id="' . $field_id . '" rows="10" cols="50" class="' . $class . '">' . $default_value . '</textarea>'
						. ( ( $field_error != null ) ? $field_error : '' )
						. '</li>
';

around the default area but my site breaks no matter how I try to simplify it. Can ya help there? Are you able to make the message input text disappear as well?

Thanks again, You are stellar!

I hope the author will implement this in the next versions.

case 'textarea' :

					$class = '';
					$class .= ( $field_vars['fieldrequired'] == '1' ) ? 'required-field ' : '';
					$class .= ( $field_vars['fieldvalidation'] != '' ) ? 'validate-' . $field_vars['fieldvalidation'] : '';
					$class = rtrim( $class );
					$default_value = ( $submitted_value != null ) ? $submitted_value : $field_vars['fieldoptions'];

					$form .= '<li>'
						. ( ( $show_label ) ? '<label for="' . $field_id . '">' . $field_vars['fieldname'] . '</label>' : '' )
						. '<textarea name="' . $field_id . '" id="' . $field_id . '" rows="10" cols="50" class="' . $class . '" onfocus="this.value==this.defaultValue?this.value=\'\':null" >' . $default_value . '</textarea>'
						. ( ( $field_error != null ) ? $field_error : '' )
						. '</li>';
					break;
