Hi all, I have a form with a couple of text fields fro you to put in your username and password. I have values in the fileds so the text in the username field says username and password says \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*.

What i want is… when you click or tab on the text box to put in your username or password i want the text that is already in the box to be highlighted so when you start to type it will automatically over write what ever is in the box.

Cheers
