Could it be mismatched quotes? You have three double quotes and I think you need four. Or maybe use single quotes for the value and double quotes around the onfocus like this?

 

onfocus="Email.value=' ' "

hi sinryder,

 

try changing your code to this one instead:

 

onfocus=" this.value='' ".

 

it should work.

escape your single quotes when used within a single quotes bordered string definition like :

 

echo tep_draw_input_field('keywords', $def_keywords, ' onfocus="this.value=\'\'" class="inputBox" size="20" maxlength="40"');

hey the error is gone now

but when i click on the box the text doesnt disappear.

 

this is the code i have

 

   'text'  =>  '<form name="newsletter" action="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSLETTERS_SUBSCRIBE, '', 'NONSSL') . '" method="post" onSubmit="return verify(this);">' . TEXT_EMAIL . '<br><input type="text" name="Email" value="enter your email"  onfocus="Email.value=\'\"" checked size="15" maxlength="35">' . '<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="go">' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSLETTERS, '', 'NONSSL') . '"></form>');

?onfocus="Email.value=\'\"" 

Boxtel suggested this (spaces added for readability):

onfocus="this.value=\' \' " [single, single, double]

 

But you have

onfocus="Email.value=\' \" " [single, double, double]

 

Don't know if that will make a difference?
