| Hi Dan,
|
| As Eliyahu has mentioned, we can just use some clientside scripts to do
| such work. We can put some initial text in the textbox and then use the
| "onfocus" dhtml event to detect the user's begin inputing , and use
| "onblur" event to detect user's move out ....
| Here are some simple code snippet which simulate such a TextBox:
|
| <HTML>
| <HEAD>
| <title>ClientTe xtBox</title>
| <script language="javas cript">
| function txt_onblur(txt)
| {
| var len = txt.value.lengt h;
|
| if(len <= 0)
| {
| txt.value = "Search.... ";
| }
| }
|
| function txt_onfocus(txt )
| {
| var val = txt.value;
|
| if(val == "Search.... ")
| {
| txt.value = "";
| }
| }
| </script>
| </HEAD>
| <body>
| <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
| <INPUT type="text" id="txtClient" name="txtClient "
| onblur="txt_onb lur(this);" onfocus="txt_on focus(this);"
value="Search.. .."
| />
| <asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
| </form>
| </body>
| </HTML>
|
|
| Hope helps. Thanks,
|

| | Dan,
| |
| | You need to handle client-site keyboard events in javascript. You will
| have
| | to work out a bit of logic for detecting very first key pressing.
