I'm trying to prompt for input within the field using the Example plugin (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/example). The idea is that I'm styling my input field to be unsually large when the user types (it will be no more than a 4 or 5 digits), so I can use closer to normal size text as the prompt.
I know I can do this with a textarea, but it's semantically incorrect, and using the return key creates a new line. I don't want to shoehorn the simple input into a textarea, but I want the prompt to be meaningful, like "Enter a measurement for this baseline," instead of "type here" or whatever short message I could use. I also like the amount of space that it takes up visually with two lines. What is a better way of doing this? Should I just use a jEditable element and style it to look like a form input? -Wayne
