Iam thinking about adding Cue text to a web text field. I can think of a few different ways to implement this behavior.
A container with a text field and a label in it. in the mouse enter event of the text filed: I could make the label invisible. But his involves a trip to the server and it is not reliable.
Im curious if anyone has done this.
I don’t web, but it seems to me to be easier to use the textfield itself for this stuff.
SubClass it and add a boolean property State, a string property CueText then use the mouseIn to determine the state and what to do.
Thats the approach I had identified: BUt the Mouse in event requires a trip back tot he server and can be or interrupted.
Im trying to avoid that
I haven’t tried it, but maybe you could create a WebCustomControl that creates an Input control that specifies the CueText using the placeholder tag?
How do you add Cuetext to a text area object? There is not an option for that in the inspector. I only see the CueText option for text field objects.
Have a look at “exited labels”
