Hi,

I have a Textbox in which I am showing a default value - "KGS".

When the User clicks the Textbox that Default value is gone & then user can Type his own value.

This TextBox had no validation.

Now My issue is that , I have to insert this value in database. This is a big form. SO, if the User doesn't Enter any value in the Textbox, then the default value i.e "KGS" goes into database. I don't want this.

What I want is, If the User enters nothing into the TextBox, then " " emty string should go to database & not the Value "KGS".

Following is the code -

<asp:TextBox ID="PD_weight" runat="server" Text="KGS" size="15" onFocus="if (value == 'KGS') {value=''}" onblur="if (value== '') {value='KGS'}" MaxLength="4"></asp:TextBox>

How this can be done?


Thank You.....!!

Hi there,

Looks like you're not really using a *default value* (which would be stored in the database), but a UI hint instead, right? If so, take a look at watermarking:

http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontrolt...Watermark.aspx

It just displays the text at the client, but doesn't really see it as a value.

Cheers,

Imar
