UITextField default text

[mdansevern]

Hi,
In some apps you see light gray text inside a UITextField which says what the expected data is.

For instance: "First Name" or "Email" -- Once the user clicks inside of the UITextField this text disappears and then the user enters in the information.

Any ideas on implementing this feature?

thank you.

the gray text "First Name" is simply the Placeholder in your UITextField.
If you click on it it will automaticly disappears.

Great thanks.

UITextField *input = (UITextField*) [cell viewWithTag:500];
input.placeholder = @"Email";
