Help needed: Edit an text box using link

HI,

I used this as an start:

<html>
<body>

<form action="">
First name:
<input type="text" name="firstname">
<br>
Last name:
<input type="text" name="lastname">
</form>

</body>
</html>

as you kan see its an form, the textfield is named firstname and last name,

My question is:
Is it possible to make a link under last name that sais I dont have a last name And when you press the link "i dont have a last name" the text Noboddy shows in the lastname field?

Hope 4 an positive reply on this one ;)

You are going to need a client / server side language to do this. HTML / CSS can not do this for you.

What language are you using? (php, perl, rudy, etc...)
