Very annoying. I've seen other forms and programs do this, so that the 'field label' (perhaps hidden) exists within the field itself so that when a user clicks the field it either highlights the text (to be typed over) or allows the cursor to go to the beginning (left) of the field and as soon as a user begins to type, the 'field label' disappears and the user typed input fills the field. I need to do this for space saving reasons, as I am using a form in a sidebar and with 'field labels' on the top of each field the vertical height is too much. Is this possible? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/can-you-have-the-label-text-show-in-the-text-form-field-or-hide-label-only#post-8269 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 06:36:21 +0000 tania 8269@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks!

Is there a way to do this? I was thinking of the following 2 solutions:</p> <p>1. Hide the label text only, and still how the text form field with the default answer as "Name, etc". Can you hide just the label text?<br /> OR<br /> 2. Have the label text overlap, if you will the text form field. Currently if you do this the two fields do not overlap very well. Is there a way to do this?</p> <p>Thank you so much for your help. </p>
