`hi, follow this example and you should ok

`

This is what I use on my site. Insert this in your post-form.php:

`$(‘textarea’).each(function() {
$(this).data(‘default’, this.value);
}).focusin(function() {
if ( this.value == $(this).data(‘default’) ) {
this.value = ”;
}
}).focusout(function() {
if ( this.value == ” ) {
this.value = $(this).data(‘default’);
}
});`

The above solution will work as well, but the text won’t re-appear if the user clicks off the textarea.

Forget that html5 an unratified proposal don’t forget things may change, behavior is the safe way of handling this, and anyway you would need to switch to a plain Doc Type sans formal identifier.

You avant guard coders !

@virtuali Exactly where in post-form.php should I put that code ?
