i want to be able to clear the value in the text box as soon as I click on it. I thought the code may be something like this:

onClick="(this.value='')"

Any Suggestions?

If u want to clear all the text box and change other controls to inital mode then u can simply have your controls inside a form and then use the following code

<script language="javascript">
fromreset()
{
myform.reset(); //will reset all the controls in ur page to initial stage.
(or) 
document.myform.[textbox Id] = " "; // will clear the textbox alone
}
 
<form name="myform" id="myform">
your code
may be you have some button ... on that button's onclick option
onclick = "javascript:formreset();">
</form>

... what's wrong with it? the following example works just fine (actually tested in IE, MOZ, FF):

<input type="text" id="tx" name="tx" value="click" onclick="this.value='';"/>
 

post some lines of code where an error occurs

kind regards ...

It works, I just added:

onclick="this.value='';"
 

Thanks a lot!
