I agree with the other comments about not using the rel attribute. In any case, decent little snippet.

I suggest using the alt-attribute. it works fine on every browser and validates.

Why aren't you just using the defaultValue of the input text boxes? link text

I was using a similar premise for a mootools validation script. For some reason I wanted it to validate but found the alt or rel attribute couldn’t be used. I decided to use the lang attribute and use underscores instead of spaces which are removed later. The lang attribute is common to most elements.

e.g. To get a different or nice name for a select box

[[select name="role_id" id="role_id" class="val_required" lang="Security_role"]]

Not sure why I needed it to validate – obsessive compulsive I think : )

A nice enhancement to this script would be to also support password fields — since the value will show up as *, you have to create a new text input and hide the password input, and on-focus you swap them. I guess that could be a little bloaty if you aren’t going to use it for that, but it’s nice to have general-case solutions.

Hi Dave,I just wan to point out that the input element does not have a rel attribute.I wrote a class for the exact same thing about two weeks ago. I used the value attribute to store the default value. Then ondomready I attached the default value to the element with the MooTools store() and retrieve() methods and applied the functionality.Thank you for a great site!
