Default grey text in textbox question that clears when clicked but does not need to be deleted.

Typically text box entries will give some placeholder text to give clues as to what input should go there.
If I set this with javascript, then the user has to delete the placeholder, which yields unusual text.

Please can you add a “default text” option for text box interactions?

Hi,

This feature is already in the TODO list, but there’s no exact plan for it yet.
To set the text placeholder that appears only when the text entry is empty, you can use the following script:

prez.object('text entry name').textNode.setAttribute('placeholder', 'placeholder text');
