Hey, I extended your example code to add a blur function. You can add an if statement in the blur function if you need to restore the default only in certain cases (like only if $(this).val() == "")
$(document).ready(function(){ $("#schnellsuche input") .focus(function () { $(this).val(""); }) .blur(function() { $(this).val("Schnellsuche"); }); }); - Jamie Goodfellow On Feb 15, 9:28 am, tlob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello > > I managed to do sucessfully: > > $(document).ready(function(){ > $("#schnellsuche input").focus(function () { > $(this).val(""); > }); > > }); > > <form action="" id="schnellsuche"> > <input class="text" type="text" value="Schnellsuche" /> > </form> > > I'm so proud of me ;-) > > now I want the default value back in, when the focus is not anymore in > the input textbox.
