Hi,

You could use the Javascript event OnFocus to fire a function which sets the contents of your textbox to "".

Hope this helps,

If you are using Framework 3.5 you can wrap them in an update panel, and use regular code (c#/vb) to clear the text boxes. That will generate AJAX to update the page asynchronously.

Otherwise, you will have to use client-side Javascript.

This is a great suggestion and will work in solving your problem.
If you are using Ajax in your website you could the Ajax Toolkit's TextBoxWatermark to do this for you.
