This will remove whatever is in the text box every time the user clicks on it?

Yes.

Here is a better way, no function needed:

... onclick="this.value='';">Enter User ID...

I modded the script a bit for my search box... Here it is:

function make_blank() { if(document.form1.q.value!="DEFAULT VALUE HERE") { } else { document.form1.q.value =""; } }

onClick="if(this.value=='name')this.value=' ';"

i have put a space between single quotes to show its not double quotes
