Question

I am trying to mimic the search bar at http://grooveshark.com. I having almost everything down except I don’t know how to place the pointer at the beginning of the text instead of at the end.

How can I have it so when a user clicks in the field, it goes to the front of the “Search” text?

Answer 1

That is a watermark, take a look at this jQuery watermark plugin
