Regarding Textarea

Hi

/*********************
Actually I have one textbox with some default text. When the focus goes to that textbox default text should be empty and ready to enter new text and also color should be changed.

In this case I wanna use GotFocus event but i didnt find it. So please tel me the alternate event.
*********************/

For the above issue i got the answer Thank you.

But If it is Textarea control then??? It doesnt have the property value so where should i enter text and how should i check the value from javascript???

Thanks in advance

use javascript to do that. i give here a sample:

<input name="textfield3" type="text" class="textBox" id="textfield3" style="color: #cccccc; width: 129px;"
onfocus="cler()" onblur="addtxt()" value="e-mail:" runat="server" />

java script function

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function cler(){
if(document.getElementById('<% = textfield3.ClientID %>').value=='e-mail:')
{
document.getElementById('<% = textfield3.ClientID %>').value="";
document.getElementById('<% = textfield3.ClientID %>').style.color="#1c6b99";
}

function addtxt(){
if(document.getElementById('<% = textfield3.ClientID %>').value=="")
{
document.getElementById('<% = textfield3.ClientID %>').value='e-mail:';
document.getElementById('<% = textfield3.ClientID %>').style.color="#cccccc";
}

</script>
