In http://en.kioskea.net/contents/html/htmlform.php3, you give a good overall guide to forms, but omit one feature. How do folks set up input fields such that the default text is automatically erased when visitor starts to enter text? I have seen search boxes which do this. Hopefully it will require only HTML without Javascript.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.5

Well, it actually is javascript. html don't do anything by itself. that is, html document are static and javascript add the dynamic behavior. the following is a sample code with inline javascript:

<input type='text' value='Type something...' onclick='this.value = "";' />
