            Thank you.

             

            In another case, my requirement is as below,

             

            if( my_text_field_1 == BLANK){

             

            my_text_field_2.rawValue = "Blank"

             

            }

             

            if( my_text_field_1 = null){

             

            my_text_field_3.rawValue = "NULL"

             

            }

             

            1) Pls. let me know How can code for this BLANKL, is it a single space like ""...........if so, if user enters 2 spaces or 3 or 4 spaces, wht happens in that case?

             

            2) Pls. consolidated the above JavaScript in a best practice way

              I have a similar issue. I have instructions in a livecycle field. I would like to clear the instructions when the clicks or tabs into the field to type data. I would like this to happen one time and one time only since I expect data will be in the field after the first time.

               

              Thank you.
