dougthedesigner.com — A good college buddy of mine made a comment in the last article. He asked about the default values I used in the comment form. When you click on a field, the default value goes away, allowing you to type. If the field loses focus (the “blur” event) and nothing was typed, the default value re-appears. In this article, I’m going to share this technique with you, explaining my reasoning and process.
