Now that with Ext Core a light-weight version (just 25kB) of ExtJS has been released, I thought it’s time to build a nice example with it. The result is something very useful that you can see in actually a lot of web sites: Display a info text inside of a input text field if it is empty and does not have the focus. Here’s how it looks like: E-Mail: To add this behaviour to a input field you just have to call this single line:...
