I'm wanting to put the titles of my form items inside the form itself. Is there an easy way to do this? My friend is using PancakeApp for Invoicing and this is where I got the idea from.
You can see a working demo of the site here http://pancakeapp.com/demo/admin/clients/create . Click on Client and then Add Client.
Hey Matt,
There's no easy way to do that. It looks they're using some CSS trickery (absolute positioning) of a "placeholder" div with the title to get it in the input. They're then padding each input enough to allot for the space it takes up.

You can do it the same way, but if it's a large form it's going to be a bit of work. It's going to take a bunch of custom CSS rules and some of the HTML fields to add the extra divs & other markup in there.
Is this what yo are talking about

@scott,
Nope, not the same thing Matt was talking about. In his example, the "default" text didn't clear. It wasn't actually in the input element at all, just absolutely positioned over it to give that illusion.
Thanks for sharing the link though. He may want to explore that possibility.
Ah i see.... yeah there is some cool stuff you can do with forms but it takes some know how and patience.... I like the mad Lib Style thing yoiu guys did but I could not get that working... Need video tutorial :)
