Text appear when cursor enters 1

[boatdrinks]

if I have an asp.net textbox called textbox2 how do I get the text "DTP" to appear in the textbox when the cursor enters it?

One way:

<input type="text" name="textbox2" onfocus="if (this.value == '') {this.value = "DTP";}" />

*cLFlaVA
----------------------------
"Holy crip he's a crapple!

<asp:textbox id="textbox2" runat="server" />

This gives errors when I past the onfucus..... into it

Well, I messed up the quotation marks.

Other than that, I'm not very familiar with that form of coding.

For future reference, my code should have been:

<input type="text" name="textbox2" onfocus="if (this.value == '') {this.value = [red]'[/red]DTP[red]'[/red];}" />

----------------------------
"Holy crip he's a crapple!

Thanks that did it.

You can use:

textbox2.Attributes.Add("onfocus",@"if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'DTP';}";

in your code-behind.
