 Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2003 2:02 am Post subject: smart comments form |
 |
|
The other day someone (blog17?) asked me if it was possible to have the comments form automatically remove the default values when you click on an input box; so that you don't end up with 'namefred'. I just remembered to look into it and here is the result:
In b2comments.php, at line 50, change
| Code: |
<form action="<?php echo $siteurl; ?>/b2comments.post.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REQUEST_URI"]); ?>" />
<p class="commentfield">
name<br />
<input type="text" name="author" class="textarea" value="<?php echo $comment_author ?>" size="20" tabindex="1" />
</p>
<p class="commentfield">
email<br />
<input type="text" name="email" class="textarea" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email ?>" size="20" tabindex="2" />
</p>
<p class="commentfield">
url<br />
<input type="text" name="url" class="textarea" value="<?php echo $comment_author_url ?>" size="20" tabindex="3" />
</p>
<p class="commentfield">
your comment<br />
<textarea cols="40" rows="4" name="comment" tabindex="4" class="textarea">comment</textarea>
</p>

This will automatically clear the input field when you click on it or tab to it.
If you leave the field empty it will put the default back.
Hope this helps,
Mike

| I remember Grace, from Starkfrenzy, using it in her cafelog code. But it is very refreshing to see that code be used again. |

I can't remember where I got the idea for this code from. It wasn't Grace's site (which doesn't seem to be using anything now), but I do remember it was a search form..

Hi Mike,
I use this, always have. Maybe that's where you saw it?  I think I had a post about it for tank @ tankgreen.com.
I got it and other stuff from http://anarchos.xs.mw/formtricks.phtml
