BetterPHP

So I havnt found to much luck on this. How do I changed forms inside of html? What do you use? css? php? java? an example is here
http://zephyrworks.com/ at the bottom of this site there is a message us form. It has text inside that dispears when you click, and the box is rounded and colored I am trying to figure out how to do those things.

This is a snippet of my login script:

<input type="text" name="REPLACE THIS" id="REPLACE THIS" placeholder="Disappearing text" />

A bit of a demo:

You can customize the text styles of the "placeholder" with CSS.

Just so you know, Internet Explorer won't support it. (as far as I know, I haz Apple)
I'm pretty sure there is a fix somewhere for it on the internet.

Oh, and uhh...

Next time this would do well in the HTML subforum :P

Actually after figuring out the proper wording I edited it.

placeholder="" is for text in the background that doesnt go away as I am currently using on mine.

for the disapearing and reappearing text I found out how to do it with javascript (if anyone wants this information let me know)

as for the rest it was all CSS, though I havnt found a way to effect the color of the border yet.

So technically it could have gone in Html,CSS, or Javascript and still been technically correct.
