Forms - Text Input Clear Predefined Value on Focus

It'd be nice if there was a nice way to have the predefined value clear out of a form textbox if the user focuses it. Or maybe a way to define a textbox 'hint' seperately that shows a value in the textbox until the user focuses it.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

Can you please tell me what functionality you want to achieve with such feature, so that I can elaborate more on your use case?

Concerning the "hint" on mouse hover, you can take a look at this blog post which explains how you can use the DefinitionsManager class to substitute the example text beneath a textbox with text visible upon hovering over the a question mark image.

Chis is asking how to do watermarks.

Like you see down in the demo section on this page.

Do you have an example anywhere of doing watermarks on form fields?

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the clarification. In that case, I believe this forum thread might be useful. If you need any additional information, please write back.
