HTML - Pre-fill An Input Field In A Form
How do I prefill an input field in a form? I don't mean "value=hello"
I mean have a light gray text inside that says "enter your first name" and then when the user starts typing that text disappears. I thought there was an html tag that did this (or a form tag like type=""). I hope it doesn't require CSS... thanks!

Thanks everyone Hi, I've got an HTML form running on an internal intranet site. It contains a vbscript that pulls the username from the local machine. Is there a way to put that username in a text box on the html page for submission later?

Thanks Simon Ok so here is my issue, i am new to web site design and i have a simple project i would like to work on. I am looking to have an entry box with a simple submit button, then i would like the submissions to be displayed below in the order they are submitted. I would also like to limit the number of submissions that show on the page at a given time by creating multiple pages that can be viewed. This seems like a very simple issue but im having trouble finding solutions on the web. Would inserting a java app or some other secondary tool be better? Any help is appreciated -Matt Hi everyone - I've been building our new site located at http://viralms.com for the last few weeks. There is just one thing I can't seem to figure out. On the home page there is a Marketing Evaluation form with "Name" and "Email" fields. When someone is to fill out those 2 fields and hit "Continue" I want it to land on this page: http://viralms.com/analysis.html Upon loading the analysis page, the name and email fields should be automatically filled out. I've seen it done before but can't really figure out how to do it Thanks J I was wondering, if there is a web page with forms, is there anyway you can create a link so that some of the input boxes are automatically filled. This would be nice so that I can email a few links to a lot of my friends and I've already filled out some of the info for everyone. Thanks for the help. ~Bryan H.~ Hi I want to do two things: 1) pre populate the input field (the following isn't pre populating in FF) <input type='text' name='txt' id='txt' onFocus='this.select()' VALUE='GIGS' class="formInput" /> CSS: form input {padding-top:5px; font-size:large; background-color:#fff; border:none; height:31px;} 2) make the pre populated text have a different format to the text people write in it. Is it possible? Will it be html, or involve JS? Thanks for your time and help. Shaun Hi, What I have is a search field that searchs from say 200 - 400 and displays anything in between that figure. What I would like it to do is also show results from 400 - 499. Is there away of adding 99 to any value entered so rather than searching for 100 it is searching for 199. But when it gets to 1000's it would need to be 999. Is this possible? If so is it possible cn you do it without displaying the 99 so it shows the figure they entered but in the background its doing the work? Thanks alot Joe Hi, i'm new here and fairly new to html and use a point and click interface for making websites. Can someone help me with an html code that can do the following?: -Its an large input field for visitors to post text and pictures which will then be sent to my email-, to be reviewed for content by me. I will then edit the website with the visitor's content. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. Thank You, Frostysnow So I'm really new to html and I apologize if I'm asking a really obvious/ stupid question. Is there any way that I could make an input button/ form and retrieve the input field value in a specific place? I mean like, is it possible to have the input value sent as a comment in a specific livejournal post? Hi Everyone, I am trying to arrange 2 text input fields and one textarea so that 2 input fields are positioned vertically (one above the other) and textarea is positioned to the right of these 2 input fields. I looked on the web on how to construct rows and tables and scooped up this code where I show how I position these elements: HTML Code: <table border="1"> <tr> <th>Heading</th> <th>Another Heading</th> </tr> <tr> <td>INPUT FIELD</td> <td>TEXTAREA</td> </tr> <tr> <td>INPUT FIELD</td> <td>blank</td> </tr> </table> But the problem is that text area creates a huge vertical space between 2 input fields that is equal to the height of textarea. I need textarea and input fields to be independent of eachother and for textarea height not to affect the vertical space between the 2 input fields. Could somebody, please, tell me how this can be done? I tried to insert additional tables and tried to also create it in DreamWeaver but I am not that knowledgeable with these tools. Please help, Thanks, Victor. i would like the following to be the same size in every browser. i currently have it fitted for firefox. it's almost perfect in internet explorer, but about a pixel too long. as for opera, it is actually a bit too short. any ideas? http://bombfubk.bravehost.com/test.html html: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <link href="css/test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <form action="" method="get"> <label for=""> <input name="test" type="text" id="test" value="bfgbfbfbf" size="69" /> </label> </form> </body> </html> css: form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } label { background-color: #009933; display: block; padding: 5px; width: 440px; } Hi all, I have a text input field, and I would like it to autocomplete from a list. For example the input field is for cities, and when the user types 'lon' I want it to automatically show a list of cities that have lon in the beginning of it's name, or if there are no others for it to autocomplete for the user. It doesn't necessarily have to be a text input element, it can be something else I just don't know what to use or how to go about it. Anyone got any ideas? The page can be found he http://www.trinityacademy.org/alumni/addressBook. You can tab from field to field but can't click on the fields. IF Google toolbar is enabled then you can click on the fields that Google recognizes for autofil but not on the fields it does not. I am baffled by this one. Any ideas??? I have some fields and a Select option, I want to add a new field if I select "Add" option, and remove field when I select "Remove" option, can I do it in very simple JavaScript?

What I read from the input field, as soon as I press the "Save results" the value of the input field should be passed within the function. All I can do is puit 'stuffhere' and it works but simply can not manage to retriveve the input data! <form name="inputData"> <input type="text" name="userName" size="32"/><br /> <a href="#" OnClick="SetText('resultHandler','Username',' stuffhere ');SendMessageToTheObject('resultHandler','saveResult');return true;"><font color="red">[Save result]</font></a> </form> Hey, I'm jst starting to learn html and I was someone could give me an example of how to create a a simple form with 2 input fields which are set to a value say "hello" in first field and "World" in second field when the button is clicked. Thanks Hi all, I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc. Can this be done? Thanks Hi everybody! I have a jsp page with a form and a table. My aim is that when i press the submit button of the form,collect the data and fill the table with it. I am working with J2EE. I have already collected the data in a Java class,but I dont know how to introduce this data into the table. Best Regards! A customer gave me a Word doc that they want turned into a printer friendly web page. I understand that there are tons of ways to do this but I really want the answer to the subject. What i'm referring to is a form that someone can print from the browser and "fill in the blanks" on the page where there are "underscores". My question is how to code those underscores. I tried manipulating the <hr> tag but it's putting way too much space in between each <hr>. I've already coded a "fill in the blank" line using <u> nbsp;</u> but that looks very messy. What do you guys/gals think? |
