Another quick script question

[elso]

Hello

I have this text field:

 <input maxlength=256 size=10 name=q value="Search" onClick=this.value=''>

default text value being "Search". How can I make
this conditional to clear the field only when the
default "Search" text is the value?


Thank you
Nelson

here is the code I use at www.nrsweb.com


<input class="search" name="w" type="text" value="Search" size="7" onBlur="ClickedAwaySearch(this)" onClick="ClickedSearch(this)">

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function ClickedAwaySearch(a)
{
if (a.value=='')
{
a.value='Search';
a.style.color='gray';
}
}

function ClickedSearch(a)
{
if (a.value=='Search')
{
a.value='';
a.style.color='black';
}
}

//-->
</script>

Hmm...didn't seem to like the javascript I put in there....

Anyway, here are the javascript functions (without the script tags)

function ClickedAwaySearch(a)
{
if (a.value=='')
{
a.value='Search';
a.style.color='gray';
}
}

function ClickedSearch(a)
{
if (a.value=='Search')
{
a.value='';
a.style.color='black';
}
}
