form value fade with JQuery

[lyleyboy]

Hi all,

I know I have seen this somewhere but I can’t for the life of me find it. I know Chris has done it on this site somewhere but I can’t remember what it was called to search for it.

All I’m looking to do is to provide a helpful value in a form field.
i.e.

Code:

As the user clicks in the form field the value fades out leaveing an empty field.

At the moment I can get the value to clear but if I try to fade out I end up fading the input rather than the value.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Thanks for that. I’ll give that a try but I’d really like a JQuery version.
