Forms-Instructions in Value Field

Avatar

Level 1

I am making a form with text fields.  I would like to put instructions in the value field that disappear when the user clicks on that field to enter their information.  For example, if the field description is "Contact", I would like "Phone Number and Mailing Address" to appear in the value field.  I KNOW that you can put this in as the "recommended" default value, but then the person has to delete that before they enter the data.  I also know that I could but a text box under the value field with that information in it.  Is there any way to create the effect I want, or do you have any other suggestions?  Thank you!

Is there a reason you're not using the tooltip?

Yes. I don’t know what the tooltip is.

Thank you.

TundraSteve,

I just looked up “tooltip” and it is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you!
