Rails - Dec 2006 - How to make the text_field default value disappear

Hello,

I have the following code :
  <%= text_field "company", ''name'', {:type
=>"text", :value => "Name of
company", :style => "width:130px"}  %>

This generates a text_field with the default value "Name of company"
in
black...

What I would like is ...

Name of company would automatically disappear when a user wants to fill
out the text_field...

Anyone ?

Thank you very much !

Hi Ja, (Great name :))
Rails is a server side handler, it cannot handle anything on client
<--> browser <--> server cycle.
In your case, you need to set a JavaScript onFocus even for the
specific text field, and set it''s value to "".
