Hi Guys,
I wonder if anyone can help with this. I’ve just added a search bar to my site: http://simonpaulcreative.com/
I’ve managed to get the word “Search” to shot up in the text field, but unlike other search boxes that I have seen it doesn’t disappear when it’s clicked on. I’d like it to behave just like the “Search Site” text in the search field on the Sitepoint homepage.
Any ideas?
