Text Box Initial Value Font Color 2

[rojas1mg]

Hello. I'm wondering if there's a way to have a text box have a lighter font (lightgray) with a default value in it, however, once the user types in it, the default info disappears and as they type, it'll be normal black text. Thanks.

example:

<form name="f">
  <input type="text" name="t" style="color: gray;" value="default" onkeydown="this.style.color = 'black';" />
</form>

That was fantastic. Is there anyway to make it disappear when the guest types in there?

My apologies for not being clear. Have the default value, disappear when they click in it.
