HTML Form Alteration

[Medyman]

Hey all...

I'm trying to achieve an effect where the value of a form is written inside of the actual text field and when the user clicks inside it, the value dissappears.

I've seen this a lot with search fields, for example. It will say something like "Search here" and when you click inside the text field to enter your query, the "Search here" disappears.

How is that done?

<input type="text" value="test" onFocus="if (this.value=='test') this.value = '';" onBlur="if (this.value=='') this.value='test';">
