Hi All,

I have a a toolbar with a couple of textboxes. I want each textbox to
display light gray text (used as a hint) and once the user click on the
edit control it disapears. In other words it is just a tip and not valid
text. What is the easiest way to do this?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Neil,

Does that also work for Firefox 3.0.x? The way it looks on the MDC help page
it nmight only apply for 3.5.

Thanks for your response and happy holidays!

On the page I was looking at it said "New in Firefox 3", meaning 3.0.x
has it.
