 * Hello,
 * I have my comments form set like this [http://femishdoll.com/writings/?comments_popup=40](http://femishdoll.com/writings/?comments_popup=40).
   The problem I’m having is getting the Name, Email & Url text to show when the
   comments link is first clicked [http://femishdoll.com/writings](http://femishdoll.com/writings)
   as you can see I’m working with onClick codes.
 * Heres my code…
 * <center><form action=”<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/wp-comments-post.
   php” method=”post” id=”commentform”>
 * <BR>
    <table cellspacing=”5″ cellpadding=”5″ border=”0″> <tr>
 *  <td valign=”top”>
    <input type=”text” name=”author” id=”author” class=”textarea”
   value=”<?php echo $comment_author; ?>” size=”20″ tabindex=”1″ onClick=”if (this.
   value == ‘Name’) this.value = ”;” onFocus=”if (this.value == ‘Name’) this.value
   = ”;” onBlur=”if (this.value == ”) this.value = ‘Name’;”><input type=”hidden”
   name=”comment_post_ID” value=”<?php echo $id; ?>” /><input type=”hidden” name
   =”redirect_to” value=”<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]); ?
   >” />
 * <input type=”text” name=”email” id=”email” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_email;?
   >” size=”20″ tabindex=”2″ onClick=”if (this.value == ‘eMail’) this.value = ”;”
   onFocus=”if (this.value == ‘eMail’) this.value = ”;” onBlur=”if (this.value =
   = ”) this.value = ‘eMail’;”>
 * <input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url;?
   >” size=”20″ tabindex=”3″ onClick=”if (this.value == ‘URL’) this.value = ”;” 
   onFocus=”if (this.value == ‘URL’) this.value = ”;” onBlur=”if (this.value == ”)
   this.value = ‘URL’;”>
    <script type=”text/javascript”>
 * function grin(tag) {
    var myField; if (document.getElementById(‘content’) && 
   document.getElementById(‘content’).type == ‘textarea’) { myField = document.getElementById(‘
   content’); } else if (document.getElementById(‘comment’) && document.getElementById(‘
   comment’).type == ‘textarea’) { myField = document.getElementById(‘comment’);}
   else { return false; } if (document.selection) { myField.focus(); sel = document.
   selection.createRange(); sel.text = tag; myField.focus(); } else if (myField.
   selectionStart || myField.selectionStart == ‘0’) { var startPos = myField.selectionStart;
   var endPos = myField.selectionEnd; var cursorPos = endPos; myField.value = myField.
   value.substring(0, startPos) + tag + myField.value.substring(endPos, myField.
   value.length); cursorPos += tag.length; myField.focus(); myField.selectionStart
   = cursorPos; myField.selectionEnd = cursorPos; } else { myField.value += tag;
   myField.focus(); } }
 * </script>
 *  </td>
    </tr> <tr>
 *  <td valign=”top”>
    <textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”50″ name=”comment”
   ROWS=”3″ onFocus=”if (this.value == ‘Comments’) this.value = ”;” onBlur=”if (
   this.value == ”) this.value = ‘Comments’;”>Comments</TEXTAREA> </td> </tr> <tr
   > <td colspan=”1″ align=”center”> <center><input name=”submit” type=”submit” 
   tabindex=”5″ value=”Send”> <input type=”reset” value=”Clear” name=”clear”></center
   >
 *  </td>
    </tr> </form></table></center>
 * The text inside of the textarea box loads, but after u click Name, Email & Url
   that’s when the text loads. I hope you get what I’m saying/trying to do. Another
   perfect example is here [http://geocities.com/bad.female/form.htm](http://geocities.com/bad.female/form.htm)
   
   I know it may have something to do with the values. Please respond…because I’m
   killing my brain :)!
 * I’d appreciate any help & thanks in advance.
