How to prefill an entry field with 'help' text that clears when selected

Hiya,

My form is one box for an email address and the submit button. I would like the email box to be pre filled with text like 'Your email (never shared!)' or something like that, which automatically clears when the user clicks in the field to start typing.

Is this do-able in Settings, or are there any user-created plugins that help?

Many thanks!
Owen

Out of curiosity, why is this not included in Gravity? Seems simple enough since it only adds 1 line of code to the input field.

Hi Chris, not to sound rude or anything, but what is there to consider? The HTML5 Placeholder text should be widely enough supported in modern browsers plus it degrades gracefully in that non supported browsers just don't get the placeholder.

In my opinion this should really be done, as there is a HTML5 Form option in the settings it could be optional. Been waiting quite some months for this feature and don't see any progress.

Again, this is just my opinion and you guys are doing a great job, just missing this feature or possibility.. thanks

p.s. The mentioned Plugin doesn't seem to work with the latest version...
