Hello.
First of all let me thank you for this incredible component. It really helps and saves a lot of time and nerves. )

I have a question:
I want to add OnFocus and OnBlur events to my fields. I've found this string

in 'components/com_aicontactsafe/views/message/view.html.php'.

How do I add OnFocus and OnBlur events to this code correctly so that the field clear it's value when it is clicked on?

thnx in advance

You can use something like this:



But I don't think it's a good idea.
Somebody might want just to modify the text, not to enter it again.

Hi, My first post, and I want to say thanks for the fantastic extension. Excellent work.

I also want to use the onfocus event on a request form I started to build. I looked at the tip given and managed to adapt it successfully for a textbox field using this snippet...

onfocus="if (this.value == \'Please enter your full name here\') {this.value=\'\';}"

I'm using the text above in an aics_name textbox field so only this string gets wiped.

My question is; if I want to do something similar with an Editbox field where can I insert the code in view.html.php. What I have in mind is for an aics_message editbox field where I would have...

onfocus="if (this.value == \'Please tell us more about your interest here\') {this.value=\'\';}"

I realise that these mods will only work with each text field type and not all aics_fieldnames. But this will still be very useful.

Appreciate any tips on this.

In the same file, look for the lines starting with :
You need to make similar changes on this lines as you did for the input field.

Thanks Alex,

Worked a treat. I just added it in the first 'if' clause, not sure if its needed in the 'else' section.

Added in Line 777

$field->html_tag = '<textarea name="' . $field->name . '" id="' . $field->name . '" ' . $cols . ' ' . $rows . ' ' . $field->field_parameters . ' onkeydown="checkEditboxLimit('.$this->profile->id.',\''.$field->name.'\', '.$field->field_limit.')" onkeyup="checkEditboxLimit('.$this->profile->id.',\''.$field->name.'\','.$field->field_limit.')" onchange="checkEditboxLimit('.$this->profile->id.',\''.$field->name.'\','.$field->field_limit.')" onfocus="if (this.value == \'Testing\') {this.value=\'\';}">' . $model->revert_specialchars($postData_field_value) . '</textarea>';

Changed the text to my final tip text after testing.

Happy to hear that.
