Clear Textboxes When Clicked
If you have a form on your website with a textbox, this code is for you. Find the textbox in your code, and add this inside the tag:When people click the textbox to type in information, the box will clear.
Here is an example of what your code should look like:
HTML Code Copy to clipboard

<input type="text" name="textbox" value="testing" onclick="this.value=''" />

This is a very ok way of explaining. He probably didn't even used it in his unsecured user system.

Maybe you should post your user system. I had a tutorial for the Naresh system and I got stuck.
It may be helpful for some.

P.S. I have Found That Something Like This:
<input type="password" size="15" maxlength="25" name="password" class="forminputb" onclick="if (this.value == 'Password') { this.value = ''; }" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Password') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if (this.value == '') { this.value = 'Password'; }" type="password" value="Password" />
Works Alittle Better. Scicne It Clears The Form And keeps the form cleared unless there is nothing in the text box. But Yours Works As Well.

Nice little script man. But for the people that are just beginning, the actual code should be:
onclick="this.value=''" (for my usersystem, which is naresh's or w.e.)
while you had this:
onclick="this.value='"
But you need to have '' after the value= so it tells it to put nothing in there. But all in all great job and nice tut.
