Infotext within a free-text-field was created by Ursusprimus
Hi,
I'd like some infotext shown inside a free-text-field, which should disappear when entering text. See attachment. Any ideas how to do it?

That is known as a placeholder.

Try something like this in the question source:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
        $('#question{QID} input:text').attr('placeholder', 'My placeholder text...');
    });
</script>
Cheers,
Tony Partner

Hi,
I think you have to remove the linefeed from

$(document).on('ready
pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){...

to
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){...
