Create a hint for a text area

You can add a hint to the text area (for example, “Type your description here”), to let your users know the kind of information they should enter in the text area. The text area displays the hint text when the user loads the page in a browser.

  1. Select a Validation Text Area widget in the Document window.
  2. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), enter a hint in the Hint text box.
