But again, that works on a technical level, but from a usability point of view it's dreadful, as users have to delete the lengthy placeholder text. Imagine a long form with 10-20 input fields, all with this type of placeholder text. Maybe this will make me sound discriminatory, but...is it worth accommodating for what is obviously a bug in very old (>6 years ?) technology at the detriment of usability for the majority of users ? Or maybe I'm just being polemic... Patrick ________________________________ Patrick H.
