form fields & mozilla

on this page, www.eskador.com/dev , we have a submit button and a text field for your email address. in Safari & IE, the field clears when you highlight it, but mozilla does not. i tried all the gecko browsers and it does not work. any ideas?? the submit is parsed with asp.

 

Sorry no one has answered. I was going to post a reply yesterday but I was hoping someone that knows more about javascript would answer.

The page sourse for your link shows:
script language= "Javascript ">
<!--
function erase() {
form1.email.value=" ";
}
-->
</script>

Then later on,
<input name= "email" type= "text" class= "unnamed1" id= "email" onfocus= "if (this.value=='you@youremail.com') this.value='';" value= "you@youremail.com" size= "25 ">

Was the page fixed? I could have sworn that yesterday it was "onclick" and not "onfocus ". In any case, it seems to be working in Mozilla now - when you click inside the e-maik field, the address is erased and you can start typing into the blank field..

 

yes, we found the solution. on focus was the answer. Thanks for replying though

 

You're welcome
