Re: TextBox with pre-filled suggestion

Wow, when I think of the hassle I went through writing JS to do this on my site a few years ago, and now HTML5 makes it that easy now! I shouldn't be bitter, but I am :)

You can use HTML 5 <input> "placeholder" attribute to achive that.

TextBox textBox = new TextBox();  textBox.getElement().setAttribute("placeholder", "some text");

check browser support of this attribute here http://www.w3schools.com/html5/att_input_placeholder.asp

For rounded borders just add styleName to TextBox with border-radius property

Hello!

I need to use a TextBox to enter some data, but the label which explains the field's purpose must be of the kind inside the TextBox itself, which disappears when the user clicks on the field (I hope I've let you understand what I'm talking about ;) )
I'm using GWT 2.4: is there any such component or a common method to achieve the result?

Since I also need to customize the look of the TextBox (rounded corners), I was thinking of implementing my own TextBox, but should it extend Composite? Or is there some other way for "basic" components?

Thank you very much for your help!
