clearing form fields when tabbing

So I know how to clear form fields when they are clicked using onClick="this.value=''" but how do I clear them when tabbing through the form?  I looked at onActivate, but it seems pretty much unsupported.  I also read this article http://www.mindpalette.com/tutorials/clear_defaults/index.php , but I have around 50+ fields, and the thought of writing a script that addresses each field individually does not put a smile on my face.   Anyone have a quick and dirty method of getting this done like the onClick method? Thanks again! -- ~Steve http://goodcf.instantspot.com/blog

You can add a focus event listener to each form input text element to clear it when a user tabs to the field, or use onFocus="" for each. The method that is called would look something like this: function clearFormField (elID) {     document.getElementById(elID).value = ''; } Nic Steve Good wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- -- Nicholas M.
