onclick remove the text in form + hisde part of form

**sanzo** · Jun 27, 2006, 11:52

Hi there

I have this form on my proxy:

Code:

  <form name="<?php echo $PHProxy->config['proxy_url_form_name'] ?>" method="get" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
  <input type="hidden" name="<?php echo $PHProxy->config['url_var_name'] ?>" value="" id="url_input" />
  <input type="hidden" name="<?php echo $PHProxy->config['flags_var_name'] ?>" value="" />
  </form>
  <form name="<?php echo $PHProxy->config['proxy_settings_form_name'] ?>" method="get" action="" onsubmit="return submit_form();">
  <table style="width: 100%">
  <tr><td class="option" style="width: 20%">URL</td><td class="option" style="width: 80%">&nbsp;<input type="text" name="url" size="70" value="" /></td></tr>
  <?php echo $PHProxy->options_list(true, true) ?>
  <tr><td class="option" style="width: 20%">New Window</td><td class="option" style="width: 80%"><input type="checkbox" name="new_window" />Open URL in a new window </td></tr>
  </table>
  <div style="text-align: center"><input type="submit" name="browse" value="Browse" onclick="return submit_form();" /></div>
  </form>

I want that, ther is a text on the input form "typ URL here"
Then if you click that box, the text goes away ...
Also that the options aren't visibel, but only the form where you write the url, the other options have to become visibel when you click on a text link "Advanced"

Can someone do this for me please ?
I don't know anything about JS

Tahnks alot

Shove this someplace in the <head> tag:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function textClear(element)
{
  if ( element.value != '' )
  {
      element.value = '';
  }
}
</script>

Then just:

HTML Code:

<input type="text" .... onclick="textClear(this);">....

hmm, actually this was more like it but..

Code:

function clearText(element)
{
        if ( !element.was_clicked )
        {
                element.value = '';
                element.was_clicked = true;
        }
}

it seems to work in firefox, but JavaScript console is throwing some obscure error message that I've never seen before..

in the header somewhere stick the following:

HTML Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var is_clicked=false;
function clear_input(element){
    if (is_clicked) element.value="";
}

function show_hide_options(element){
    element.style.display=(element.style.display="none"?"block":"none");
}
</script>

Make the code for the input box:

HTML Code:

<input type="text" name="url" size="70" value="" onclick="clear_input(this);is_clicked=true" />

Also, wrap your options with a div:

HTML Code:

<div id="advanced" name="advanced" style="display:none"> ...insert options... </div>

And stick in an advanced button:

HTML Code:

<input type="button" onclick="show_hide_options(advanced)" value="Advanced" />

should work, hasnt been tested tho

good luck

That would work, but you would need to do this instead:

onclick="clear_input(this);if (!is_clicked) { is_clicked=true; }"

y??
it shouldnt matter as it just makes sure that the variable is still set to true, it juts clutters ur code

I've implemented the most recent code block and I have to click in the input box twice to get the text to disappear. This happens in both IE 7 and Firefox.
