    I Think that Chris did a tutorial on this once but i can’t seem to find it.
    Does anyone know how to have text as a background to a form? So for the input box of Email, the word email is the background of the input box, I don’t want it to be the value of the box as i want it to still be there while the user is typing their value.

    Many Thanks For Your Time!

    why would you want that? that could make it hard for them to read what they are typing. It could also make your form look like it isn’t working. This isn’t normal form behavior. I would recommend that you not do that

    well for that, I am sure they used jquery for that. What I would do is view the source code and see if you can find the script they used to create the affect

    Yeah, I tried that already – It’s pretty well hidden

    Ahh, it’s a label with a z index, and the input is a .png with opacity…
