Additional info in Other Info Prompt box

[tristam]

I would like the message of "Max 20 Characters" in the Other Info Prompt box. This needs to disappear as soon as the customer clicks in it. I have done this before but can't remember how it is done. I seem to remember that the text was much lighter that the rest of the text on the page.

Use a modified product layout where you replace::

<input class="input-border" type="text" name="O_<actinic:variable name="ProductID" />" maxlength="1000" value="" />

With:

<input class="input-border" type="text" name="O_<actinic:variable name="ProductID" />" placeholder="Max 20 Characters" maxlength="20" value="" />

Or (even better) create 2 variables OtherInfoPlaceholder and OtherInfoMaxLength and use them in place of the Max 20 Characters and 20 above. This will let you adjust them per product.

Thanks thats great. I am ok with the simple version for now but may look into the better version in the future.

The Starter Guide has a chapter on "Adding Custom Fields" that walks you through creating user Variables.
