I have created a form using HTML codes. I would like to do something like... prompting the user to type something into the form. For example, before I actually typed something in this box, the title actually prompted for:"What's your programming question? Be specific.". I would like to do something like this, how can I do it?

Thanks!

  • Can you clarify your question a bit? Where do you want the text displayed? Is it in the text box that you want them to type their question, or is it just text on the page? Commented Nov 21, 2010 at 7:05

You should check out this post on SO, it talks all about using a input textbox and watermarks.

You are talking about watermarks on your input fields. If you are using jQuery you should have a look at this page: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-watermark/
