jQuery watermark plugin disappearing

Image
By User



I am in search for a good jQuery watermark plugin that work with ASP.NET and found here and downloaded it and included in the head portion







<script src="js/jquery.watermark.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>







I have login and signup on same page and referencing them as:







<script type="text/javascript">

        $(function () {

            $("#<%= (Login1.FindControl("UserName")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Username");

            $("#<%= (Login1.FindControl("Password")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Password");

            $("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("UserName")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Username");

            $("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("Password")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Password");

            $("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("ConfirmPassword")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your ConfirmPassword");

            $("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("Email")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Email");

        });

    </script>







Now the problem is the watermark is showing very well for all the textboxes.If I try to login then the page will be doing postback then all the watermark from the textboxes disappears .





So what do I need to do in order not to remove all of them even though there is a postback.

    You can try this simple trick

    <input type="text" value="Enter keyword here"
    onfocus="if(this.value=='Enter keyword here'){this.value=''}"
    onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Enter keyword here'}" />


    Or You can try HTML 5 placeholder

    <input type="text" name="first_name" placeholder="Your first name...">

    When you refresh part of a page, the event bindings associated with the replaced elements are thrown out. You need to re-initialize the bindings to the replaced elements. You need to re-run the function inside watermark that does this.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
