John, I agree with you if that were the only concern. Lots of environments out there do not support the title attribute in this way if at all for one thing so it wouldn't matter. We still have the issue though where many people are using interfaces for one reason or another and in combinations that require a place holder set in order to identify the edit field. -- Jonnie Apple Seed With His: Hands-On Technolog(eye)s On Jul 12, 2005, at 10:27 AM, Jon Gibbins (dotjay) wrote: Quoting David Poehlman (via Patrick H.

A title attribute or equivalent could be useful in providing extra info here, so could the software not check for such info? If such information such as David describes is useful, there must be a better way to provide that info that via placeholder text. jon. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
