Comments on: jQuery plugin: clearField http://labs.thesedays.com/2009/08/02/jquery-plugin-clearfield/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:14:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: donotfold http://labs.thesedays.com/2009/08/02/jquery-plugin-clearfield/comment-page-1/#comment-336 donotfold Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:58:49 +0000 http://labs.thesedays.com/?p=101#comment-336 In my opinion it's much simpler to use the plugin because I get the same result in one line of code instead of two and even more, because if you blur the field, the original value will be back. But sure, you have a point. The power of jQuery is that you have many options to get the same result. Tnx for the comment!

You can do the same thing with 2 lines of "straight" jQuery: $('#emailAddress').focus(function(){$(this).css('color', '#000').val('');}); $('#emailAddress').blur(function(){$(this).css('color', '#999');}); form field: Nothing against your code here, just curious why anyone would need a plugin for this.
