JS: Clear Default Value onFocus

Simply add the following to the the onFocus attribute of any HTML form input tag.
[code lang=”JavaScript”]if (this.value == this.defaultValue) this.value = ”;[/code]
this.defaultValue is automatically given the value in the HTML.

Here is an extention to the clear default value onFocus:

onBlur=”if (this.value == ”) this.value = this.defaultValue;”

It reenters the default value if it is left empty onBlur.
