I have entered "NAME OF APPLICANT" in a text field as the default where the user will input their information. When the user clicks on the text field, I would like "NAME OF APPLICANT" to disappear. Currently the user has to manually delete "NAME OF APPLICANT" before entering their information.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

On the Enter event of the field you can put:
this.rawValue=null;

Actually, this would be a little more complete:

if (this.rawValue=="NAME OF APPLICANT"){
this.rawValue=null;
}

This way if the filler clicks back in the field after already providing a response it won't erase their initial response.
