This little JavaScript Function will allow you to place text within your input box, then when the user clicks to enter something the default text will disappear allowing them to directly enter their information;

Step 1:

If you are placing your input box on every page (or more than one page) you should place the script function in the MasterBorder HTML insertion location.  Press F10 to bring up the MasterBorder Properties palette press the HTML button at the lower right, then in the tab marked Between Head Tags Insert the following JavaScript Function

Once you have your default text in your Forms Edit Field then press the HTML button located at the bottom right of the Forms Edit Field Properties palette and in the tab marked Inside Tag enter the following JavaScript Code which will call the Script Function that you placed in your Head in Step 1 above
