Search Box

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have several search boxes available on a site and the Product search was getting a bit lost.  I added a default/initial value of "Product Search" to the text box but it makes users annoyed to have to clear that out so I also added a js clear so that the default/initial value is removed when someone clicks on the text box.

It now looks like this in SmallSearchBox.asp

<input type="Text" name="keyword" size="25" value="PRODUCT SEARCH" id="smallsearchbox" onfocus="this.value = ( this.value == this.defaultValue ) ? '' : this.value;return true;">
