TOPIC: Textarea with default value validation

Textarea with default value validation 9 years 7 months ago #32646

Hi,
I have 2 textarea fileds (NAME and SURNAME) which I added default value to both of them.

For firstname:
Default Value: First Name
Additional Attributes:
onfocus="if(this.value == 'First Name') this.value ='';"
onblur="if(this.value == '') this.value='First Name'"

Thats the same for Surname.

My question is how can I make those 2 fields REQUIRED?
In validation i've added the Required field to Yes, but as they both have values the validation wont be effective. Is there any way I could have the default values and also perform the validations?

thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have the same question as Sam posted.
The placeholder isn't working for me because when I use this and start typing in the field, the placeholder stays. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
