HTML input field hint

Question

I want to provide the user with a hint on what he needs to enter into my text field. However, when I set the value, it does not disappear once a user clicks on the text fiel

Answer 1

If you mean like a text in the background, I'd say you use a label with the input field and position it on the input using CSS, of course. With JS, you fade out the label when the input receives values and fade it in when the input is empty. In this way, it is not possible for the user to submit the description, whether by accident or intent.
