I have many textfields that show instruction text within the textbox (how the default value would look). On focus the color of the text becomes lighter, but doesn't go away until text is entered. When text is erased, the label returns. It's pretty slick. A default value doesn't cut it, because these go away onfocus. I have it working, but the code is complicated because it relies on negative margins that correspond to the individual widths of the textfields. I want a dynamic solution where the label for its textfield is positioned correctly automatically, probably using a script. Any help would be greatly appreciated. But I am not looking for default values as a solution. Thanks. Mike Edited to be more precise. Edited again to provide some simple code that illustrates the effect I am after: <pre><code><input style="position: relative; width: 150px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; " type="text" name="name" id="name" onfocus="javascript: document.getElementById('nameLabel').style.color='#BEBEBE';" onkeypress="javascript: if (event.keyCode!=9) {document.getElementById('nameLabel').innerHTML='&nbsp;';}" onkeyup="javascript: if (this.value=='') document.getElementById('nameLabel').innerHTML='Your&#160;Name';" onblur="javascript: if (this.value=='') {document.getElementById('nameLabel').style.color='#7e7e7e'; document.getElementById('nameLabel').innerHTML='Your&#160;Name';}"/> <label id="nameLabel" for="name" style="position: relative; margin-left: -150px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your Name</label> </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
