Question

I am using this jQuery Watermark Input Plugin: http://digitalbush.com/projects/watermark-input-plugin/

I would like to keep the placeholder text visible when I tab through the fields. And only disappear when I click the field.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

in the js file for the watermark plugin, you will see at the end a group of functions and then

input.focus(clearMessage);
input.blur(insertMessage);                                
input.change(insertMessage);

if you change the focus to click, it should work like you want.

input.click(clearMessage);
input.blur(insertMessage);                                
input.change(insertMessage);
