Question

I realize this seems like an obvious JS type thing – but I’m new to CakePHP, and just wondering if there’s some elegant solution to clearing a text input when clicking on it…. like maybe an attribute for the field’s array ‘clearOnFocus’=>’true’ or something?

Answer 1

You could use the placeholder feature of HTML5:

$this->Form->input('example', array('placeholder' => 'Your placeholder text'));
