How can you expect any help without showing your code? Of course it can disappear, depending on what TextBox5_TextChanged does.

You have not provided enough information to let us help you. At least a listing of TextBox5_Changed would be a start.

or use TextBox5_Enter Event handler then on enter just set the text to String.Empty;

Solution 2

You can do this on the client side by handling hte focus event, and setting to "" there. You should not expect to post your random requests that you're too lazy to research for yourself, and have us do your work for you.

how about you wise man get to business and try to solve the problem and give em some codes coz i have tried all of what you all have said (focus event,event handler,javascript codes,even ajax) nothing working or i am so stupid so i am not writing the codes right.

Christian gave you as much information as you gave us, so you are not really in the position to say this to him.. Instead I would suggest you to update your question with more info on what you already tried and how you did that.

Btw: His solution is actually quite complete. Only thing missing might be a code example, but you should be able to work that out yourself. This ain't rent-a-coder.
