Can you have text show in a field until text is entered?

[sicSRT8]

I have some fields that cosmetically have very little room around them and would like the title of the field inside the field until text is entered. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Create a global calculation field for each of the fields that you want to name and lay these calc fields over the respective proper fields. Make the calc fields non-enterable.

The formula for each is along the lines of:

If ( IsEmpty ( whateverfieldname );"whateverfieldname"; "" )

Have a look at LaRetta's file Link for additional ideas.

It works but how do you set the calc as not enterable.

Look under Field Control --> Behavior

I actually made the field image (White Square Box) then on top of that the calc that disappears then on top of that the drop down field.
