Hi,,

I have a solution to this issue. I don’t know whether its works in all conditions. I tested few. It works fine with my application.
(I am having trouble with $(‘.default-value’), I am using validationEngine plugin but still can’t figure it out that from where this $(‘.default-value’) comes, I will appreciate any kind of help). I modified the plugin’s code in

FROM:
//Capture parent form submission
//Remove field values that are still default
$(this).parents(“form”).each(function() {
//Bind parent form submit
$(this).submit(function() {
if(fld_current.value==text) {
fld_current.value=’ ‘;
}
});
});
TO:

//Capture parent form submission
//Remove field values that are still default
$(this).parents(“form”).each(function() {
//Bind parent form submit
$(this).submit(function() {
if(fld_current.value==text) {
fld_current.value=text;
}
});
});

I mainly modified fld_current.value =’ ‘ to fld_current.value=text. It works fine with my application.

Thanks,

Hey, Thanks for giving such a nice plugin to us. Here in my application, I am facing a problem. I have form with two buttons(submit, reset). When I click on reset, it is clearing the default values also. Could you please help me out in this.

Thanks

Hi!

For Jquery 1.6 use this code
jQuery(“#fname”).prop(‘defaultValue’);

Previous: its used .attr(‘defaultValue’);

Hope this help to some one..

Hi Dennis,

I wasn’t aware that the plugin didn’t work under 1.6. I’ll run a few tests this weekend and push out an updated version.

As soon as it’s ready I’ll post another blog and link this article to the new one.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Not sure if you plan to update this script, but it doesn’t work with jQuery 1.6x. Any thoughts?

Hi Luc,

Please have a look at the code below. I spent some time this morning integrating my plugin with the jQuery Validator plugin and coded up a simple way around the issue you guys are having. Please see below and let me know if you have any questions.


$(document).ready(function() {
//Initially set default values
set_defaults();

function set_defaults(){
//Assign default value to form field #1
$("#fname").DefaultValue("Enter your first name..");
$("#lname").DefaultValue("Enter your last name..");
$("#desc").DefaultValue("Describe yourself...");
}


I have the same question as Julian on August 11, 2010 :

Upon submitting the form, fields which still contain the default value are set to empty and if a form validation script stops the submitting process I end up with a bunch of empty fields.
How can I fill the empty fields with the default values back?
