TextBox with Default value

Question

I want to use a textbox that shows a text.

For example : [email protected]. When the user clicks on it, the textbox is cleared and ready for the user to type.

Answer 1

If you are working on newer browsers then you can use placeholder property which is new in HTML 5

<asp:TextBox ID="textBox1" runat="server" placeholder="[email protected]"></asp:TextBox>

otherwise you can also use onfocus and onblur event to do this as described here
