HTML - Text Box Initial Messages
How do i create a text box that has an initial message in it which disappears when i click it..?
Such as in this website. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/net...k/default.aspx At the top left corner of this website there is an example of the text box i want. Can anyone help me with this..? Similar TutorialsIs it possible to get the initial value of a text area to be in any tags (like the italics tag for example)? HTML Code: <textarea name="textarea" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="6">INITIAL VALUE</textarea> I have a text area and the initial value contains quite a bit of code, rangin from css, to div elements... Some of the style is showing up on the page when viewed and not staying in the box. I intend for someone to copy and paste this large body of html... I'm wondering if this is even possible. I have a form on my page, and I want it's initial value to be a random number, between 1 and 1000. How, if I even can, would I do this? I am having the worst time trying to figure this one out. I created a site for a hair salon and every time each page loads for the first time, it jumps from right to left. Does anyone know why it is doing this? There is an example link below. I've tried reducing the amount of tables, removing the Rollover JS and replacing with CSS and making tables exact width instead of 100% but no luck. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. http://www.studiodbypaolosalon.com I have an image that serves as a text box. It includes a border (i.e., the border is part of the image, not HTML) and a background picture. The picture fades into a solid color at the bottom. This first image depicts the top, left, and right parts of the border. (Here is the plan I first envisioned.) I have created a second image, one pixel tall, of what the rest of the box would look like, after which it would end in a similar 1px-high image of the border color. So, as the background of a div, is there a way to display one image, then have another image repeat indefinitely, followed by a third image? Alternatively, is there a way to have the background be a simple repeated image, with another one on top of it? Then I could cap the bottom in a different div. The most likely solution I have come up with is the following. Why don't I crop off the border and do that with HTML? That way, I have only to display one image, and the rest of the background can be a solid color. I don't know how to do this either, but it seems the most plausible. Hi. Im on a steady learning curve when it comes to html. I keep getting warnings when im trying to add somthing simple like a 'add to favorites' link. "To help protect your security, internet explorer has restricted...etc" I have been on plenty of different websites that use all kinds of bits and bobs, including 'add to favourites' etc, when I view their webpage's, I dont receive a warning message ?? My settings are the same as they've always been. Is there something I can add/remove from my code to avoide these messages? (Im using dreamweaver) I visited some sites that had these animated people that look at the mouse and speak and tell the message. where can i get one for free? Hey everyone! Basically, for an image, when the cursor is moving across it, I'd like the cursor to have a small box next to it displaying the co-ordinates of where it is in the image, as well as when the cursor is on a certain point in the image, it displays a message. An example I found would be: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ Any help is really appreciated! Lavace here is the (ineffective) code currently: <img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" /> <h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1> the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is. i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image. i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon! thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help. I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file. I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file. I hope this is an easy one with several answers. Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines? Thanks, Jason Hi All, I am new to this forum and is expecting an answer for this question. I have implemented a facebook type search to the database which displays the familiar text saved in the database when I type some text in the database. My issue is after I have used the search box for a couple of time the text box starts displaying a similar dropdown from its history which hides my database search. Does anyone know how to disable it using html or css.

The problem I'm facing is I have 7 links in a row | Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4 | Link 5 | Link 6 | Link 7 | and below those links I have nothing. What I want is for Text to appear on rollover on Link 1 and stay there until Link 2 or another link is hovered over. Example: Mouse hovers on Link 1 - called Free Home Survey Text appears below row of links about Free Home Surveys that the company does Mouse hovers on Link 3 - called Personalisation Text appears below the row of links about Personalisation etc Any help would be greatly appreciated.
