Quick Question - text prompt in search box

[Uifz]

Hi, just purchased the Zoom Search software....and so far I'm pretty happy with it....I just have a quick question here...

I have a search box placed on the main site. I also have the initial value set to "Search" this way people know what that box does.

Well, I'm trying to set it so when a user clicks on the box, the "search" text clears from the textbox instead of the user having to manually enter backspace and type their "search query" again.

I have something along the lines of this in my code:
<input type="text" name="zoom_query" size="20" style="width: 80px; height: 17px" value="Search" onclick=" />

I just don't know what to set the onclick value to, i've tried "", no success.

Thanks for the help!

Take a look at this previous forum thread, I think it'll do what you want?

That is what I'm looking for, however that coding Doesn't seem to work.

But this seemed to work for me, changed it up a little bit:

<input type="text" name="zoom_query" size="20" style="width: 80px; height: 17px" value="Search" onfocus="if ( this.value == this.defaultValue ) this.value = ''"
onblur="if ( this.value == '' ) this.value = this.defaultValue" >
