We've seen it all the time on websites... In a untouched field it gives some sample data grayed out to let you know what format to enter your information. Once you click in the field it disappears never to show again, even if you don't enter information. Is there a way to do this in Filemaker?

You can use text conditionally formatted to make it disappear when the field is not empty. Tracking clicks into a field would be much more complex.
