How to display default text in a textbox using vb.net?

[Prathap]

I have a textbox,it should display something like "please enter your name" by default.

The default text must disappear when i click on that textbox.

Could someone please help..

Give the default value For Textbox using Value Attribute in input control.


<input id="id" type="text" value="please enter your name" onclick="Change ()" />


Call the Javascript Function When You Click on the Textbox.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javas cript">
function Change() {
document.getEle mentById("id"). value = "";
}
</script>

it's a good suggestion, and you might want to add this to the script, in case the user clicks back into it by mistake

if (document.getElementById("id").value == "please enter your name"){
		document.getElementById("id").value = "";
	}

You can also do by changing the text property of textbox .
for example
