Simple Form Value

[dwighty]

Hi There,

Does anyone know if its possible to have a default value in your Form Input area. So for example,

I want a £ sign to be present in the input field so I would use ...
<input type="text" name="Your_Budget" value="£" style="width: 80%" />

However, the client can then override the £ sign, I dont want them to. I want the writing to automatically start after this symbol.

Is this possible?

Thanks

No. However, you might be able to create a background image of the £ and use it for the background of the text field, then give the field some left padding to leave room for the background to show through.

Alternatively, you might be able to do some very complex JavaScript to catch every key event and then make sure that the symbol was always in there, but it would not be reliable and probably alot more work than it's worth.

Fotimanm,

Thanks for your reply. Thought that was the case.

Will leave it be for the moment.

Cheers
