Lose input hints (get focus) after pressing mouse cursor in a textbox with JavaScript
Let’s say the following is our input text −
<label for="name">StudentName:<input name="name" id="studentName" value="Enter your Name ????" class="guess"></label>
To lose input hints on pressing mouse cursor, use onFocus and onBlur concept.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0">

</head>
<body>
<label for="name">StudentName:<input name="name" id="studentName"
value="Enter your Name ????" class="guess"></label>
</div>
<script>
function guessFocus() {
if (this.value == this.defaultValue)
this.value = '';
}
function guessBlur(event) {
if (this.value == '')
this.value = this.defaultValue;
}
var event = document.getElementById('studentName');
event.onfocus = guessFocus;
event.onblur = guessBlur;
