ok, been awhile since i messed with ASP.Net and i forgot way to much.
Anyway, suffice it to say, i have the coding and know how in a basic csharp of vb app to set the username box to have a slightly off colored text inside it that shows "[username]", but i cant seem to get this same function in asp page
i've devided off my login to a master page with a view, blah blah blah, and set all of my controls in my view, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to get the nice looking message boxes. Well, I say nice looking, but it's just personal opinion. I think it looks nicer to have simple text boxes with offcolored text telling you what goes in them rather than the big bulky label out to the side.
Of course I also need the functionality of clearing the text after the box is clicked on. sure there is java for that somewhere, but i think that would have to be set in my controller code? i dunno, its been awhile.
but in the end, i want message boxes with clearable text that say stuff like [username] in some off (not normal textbox color as user types) color
any ideas?
