LOL<br /> But if I put that Script into my header.php and I enable an update to the Theme, it will get wiped out, right? (So I would simply put the Script back into the header.php after performing the Theme update?)<br /> I see this already there:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; var image_url=&#39;&lt;?php echo THEME_IMAGES;?&gt;&#39;; &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>Can I just put the referenced Script above or below this? (or where to put the above referenced Script?) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-put-description-in-the-blank-field-and-when-they-click-it#post-45647 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:41:42 +0000 Rob Harrell 45647@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You should be able to achieve that with jQuery, see if this helps guide you:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/clearing-default-form-field-values-with-jquery/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/clearing-default-form-field-values-with-jquery/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/is-there-a-way-to-put-description-in-the-blank-field-and-when-they-click-it#post-45646 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:38:03 +0000 agilitysteve 45646@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>it disappears and they can enter their text?</p> <p>Thank you in advance </p>
