Clear Search Box on click on 09/11/2010 17:04:27 MDT Print View

This is a pretty minimal request but, would it be possible to clear the search box when the user clicks inside it to type? I search all the time when considering new gear and I always have to clear that field before I start typing.

Something like this
onclick="document.myform.mytext.value='';"
on the text input field should do it.

If I triple click in the box then start typing the Search BPL goes away.

That's a good idea, Ken. I'll start doing that.

That was easy. Wonder what took so long.

Works for me with just a single click. Could it be related to web browser?

I'm using Safari. Anyone else?

You might need to do a force refresh to get the updated javascript file. (Shift+Clicking Refresh does it on a Mac.)
