Just a simple question, when something is entered into the
'text'
property of a text box in visual studio, how can i make the
text
dissappear as soon as the user selects the box?

Thanks for your time

Use the enter event for the control

    I am assuming you mean on the web rather then in windows (since in
windows its so piddly), assuming your TextBox ID is "f_tbNotes" add
this to your code behind:



f_tbNotes.Attributes.Add("onclick";, "if(this.value == 'Whatever the default value is') this.value = '';");



changing "Whatever the default value is" for whatever you have set the
default value for. If you want it to clear every time it is clicked
(won't care if the user has entered text or not) use this instead:



f_tbNotes.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.value = '';");

Thank you for the accurate response Liam, one more question,
if the
text box has a requiredfieldvalidator associated with it how
can i get
it to ignore the default value in the box?

Any help would be great!

The best way of doing it would be to use a Custom Validator. Take a look at http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/073102-1.aspx

Write code to handle, 

if(textbox.text != "my required data") { /* do
something */ return; }

or if there are multiple possible values,

switch(textbox.text)
{
	case "value1":
		/* do something */
		break;
	case "value2":
		....
		break;
	default:
		/* error, invalid data */
		break;
}
