OnClick Clear Field

Hi there,
How can i clear the field of the value once the user has clicked in the field?

I.E when the user clicks inside the field, the value that is already in there is wiped clean… BUT if the USER has entered data then wants to edit it, not to clear the field… Compronde?

I have…
<input type=”text” size=”25″ name=”S_Name” value=”Second name”>

How can you know if the user wants to edit what is there or put something else in it?

It may be best to leave well enough alone.

@sovikJan 31.2007 — for example:
<i>
</i>&lt;script&gt;
function foo() {
if (document.formname.S_Name.value=="Second name") {
document.formname.S_Name.value="";
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;input type="text" size="25" name="S_Name" value="Second name" onfocus="foo()"&gt;

Success!
