I couldn't find anything in a forum search so I decided to look at recent posts to see if anything matched. There I found the most recent post in the list was "pre-populate form fields with sample data/text which is hidden on click/usage", exactly what I was looking for.</p> <p>I don't know how you knew I would be arriving shortly looking for just that (ha), but thank you for the very timely post. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-form-fields-with-sample-datatext-which-is-hidden-on-clickusage#post-48386 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:50:13 +0000 Rob Harrell 48386@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It sounds like this might be what you are looking to do?</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/pre-populate-form-fields-with-sample-datatext-which-is-hidden-on-clickusage#post-48375 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:31:44 +0000 leanderb 48375@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I know you guys are busy, but this should be an easy one, right? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-form-fields-with-sample-datatext-which-is-hidden-on-clickusage#post-48153 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:46:42 +0000 leanderb 48153@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey there,</p> <p>having done a search regarding the "pre-populate"-feature, I now feel like asking a stupid question with all those technical details going around :)</p> <p>I have already pre-populated a sample field with a basic text-snippet but I want the text to vanish when the field is selected/clicked upon. This seems like common practice with regards to usability/conversion rates. There sure is a way to do this, right? Even if not already a "feature" of Gravity Forms this could be handled with an simple tweak maybe?</p> <p>Thanks for helping out, hope I could make myself clear here.<br /> Regards,</p> <p>Henning </p>
