I apologize - I should have mentioned I'm very new using this software (3 weeks) and do not have programming background. Where do I enter this code? Does this go into Script Editor? I tried that but am getting an error on the first { .

yes, this code will go in Script Editor.

On the form click on the Text Field, then in Script Editor open up the drop down box which shows up all events.

Select "enter"
and then just paste the code

akshay -

I think I followed your instructions correctly - here is what I have in the script editor after clicking on the text field and selecting "enter".........
---------------------------------------

form1.#subform[0].Confidential_info1::enter - (FormCalc, client)
if (textfield.rawValue == "ie: financial, grades, medical, ssn")
{
textfield.rawValue = "";
}

------------------------------

I am getting an error "Error: syntax error near token '{' on line 2, column 1.

Any suggestions?

ooppss.. i should have told you earlier itself.
Select the language as "JavaScript" in the dropdown for language..

i tried it using JavaScript the same code works perfectly fine....!!!!!!!!



form1.#subform[0].textfield::enter - (JavaScript, client)
if (textfield.rawValue == "ie: financial, grades, medical, ssn")
{
textfield.rawValue = "";
}

Oh - thank you - that definitely worked! One strange thing however, I have entered 12 versions of tips in 12 fields and 2 of the twelve aren't working. When tabbing into the field the cursor goes to the end of the line and does not delete the tooltip. I've studied the code and it looks fine, have cut the old code and started over...... is there something I'm missing? The default value is = to the code as I have copied and pasted it from the field value tab.

form1.#subform[1].TextField10::enter - (JavaScript, client)
if (textfield.rawValue == "ie: alarm, camera")
{
textfield.rawValue = "";
}

hi,

I am not sure.. I tried the same code with tabbing through the textfields it works as it should. i.e. deleting the tool tip.

just make sure that the if condition, checks for the correct corresponding default value for each textfields.

Thanks. I've checked and double checked. I even took out most of the default value and just left two letters. Still not highlighting / deleting. I'll keep working on it. Thanks so much for you help!
