How to create instruction text that disappears in the fields

Hello, all.  I'm a noob in the hope of getting some help creating a form.

My idea is to have the instruction text in a form field that tells the user what type of information to understand, but then have this text disappears when the user accesses the form (be it on click, or by typing the first character, or something else).  I'm sure it can be done with javascript, but as a noob, I have no idea how to implement such a solution.  Any hints/help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

/TW

Here's what I've used in the past:

var message = "Please enter your name here:'"

If (event.value == ") {}

Event.Target.Display = display.noPrint

Event.Value = message

} else {}

Event.Target.Display = display.visible

}

Add this to the "Custom Format Script" for the field that you want to view and edit the message according to your needs.

  • How to make a text caption disappear in 7 Captivate?

    Hello

    I want to do a text caption to disappear.

    I don't want to use a reversal or slidelet because their region (even transparent) hotspot covers the button that stops the top, above and to the low States of reversal of projection (I want the different State colors to show). To make sure that the 3 State button colors show, I used a tip action with the button 'Show' the text caption.

    It looks great, but the text caption does not disappear when I click anywhere.

    I would like to than the legend text to disappear when the user clicks the mouse again.

    Could you please tell me how to do?

    Thank you!

    You cannot trigger an advanced action with a text caption, with an interactive object, only those who have an accordion of Action:

    http://blog.lilybiri.com/events-and-advanced-actions

    I wrote 'create a variable user with a default 0 ". This isn't the label of a text entry box. You can create a project, Variables or in the dialog box variable advanced actions, that has a button "Variables".

    I used a smartshape as text container, it is indeed this text container (can also be a text caption) you want to hide, right?

    Be sure to also create the Else part.

    What you do is the following:

    If the text container is not visible, the value of the variable will be 0. In this case, the text container must be made visible (see the) AND the variable should be replaced by 1. This is the first part of the condition

    If the container is visible, the value of the variable will not be 0 but 1. In this case, the text container must be hidden AND the variable needs to be changed back to 0.

  • How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?

    How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
    I uninstalled Nero 8 on my system (Windows Vista Edition home premium, 64-bit dell 1737 studio system); but several Nero files are always stuck in my registry. How can I remove them without destabilizing the system? Thank you.

    Yes, Nero is a software that I hate. I liked Nero until 6 version, I think, but after the Version 8 and 9, it was pathetic.

    2 years ago I had uninstalled a lot of software and there were many many registry entries obsolete - when a search I found that a member of a forum on the Web recommend CCleaner.

    Used from 2 years - each time without making registry backups. He never did wrong with my two PC - Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 (previously Windows 7 RTM).

    The registry cleaner is fantastic.

    In which case you can try it, here's the download link.

    WARNING: Installation be sure to uncheck the installation of Google Chrome options.

    CCleaner automatically prompts you to create backups of registry before she cleans up the registry. The choice is totally yours.

    Can't do much about that because it depends on what authenticate you the VPN server and how the settings. But let me introduce you to the memory layout. Once you install and open a VPN client. Press it again and it opens up a new page for the VPN config.

    Example of configuration as it is attached. But it differs depending on the configuration of your vpn server.

    Once you create and save this profile. Your FCP file is stored.

    How to create a my Signature (signature with the tablet of manufacturing) Action?

    I use PSCS6?

    I have no problem making an action of signature if I pick a font and then type in my name,

    but to make a real action of my signature seems impossible.

    Hello

    There is a very cool technique to do by your signature in a Photoshop brush.  Once this is a brush, you can change the size and place the signature everywhere where you want.

    Google "Photoshop brush signature" or something similar and you will see a lot of tutorials.  Try this one:

    Photoshop reference guide | Creating a custom brush Signature | Peachpit

    Basically, you sign your signature on a blank piece of paper, then you scan in a JPG or TIFF file, then you open that file in PS to create a brush.

    I hope this helps.
