Javascript question

[Mondeo]

Hi,

 

I want to clear a textbox out when its clicked client side, so i've got

 

txtExtraOptionDesc.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if(this.value == 'Description must be entered') this.value = '';")

 

It works fine.

 

But I also want to set the backcolor to white, can the onclick support more than one action?

 

I tried

 

txtExtraOptionDesc.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if(this.value == 'Description must be entered') this.value = '';this.backcolor='white'")

 

But it didn't work, then again the syntax may be wrong as i'm not hot on JS.

[MrPaul]

Curly braces {}

 

The syntax would be:

 

txtExtraOptionDesc.Attributes.Add(
   "onclick",
   "if (this.value == 'Description must be entered') {this.value = ''; this.backcolor='white';}"
)

 

The curly braces allow you to enclose more than one statement, as in all C-style languages.

 

Good luck :)
