Created attachment 7368 [details] The default text won't disappear when the search bar is auto-focussed I have two small issues with the new search bar of the Vector skin. The search bar has a default text ("Search") that should hide once the search bar gains focus. This is working properly. My search bar however is focussed automatically once the page finishes loading. Unfortuntely, the default text won't disappear once I start typing and overlaps with the text I enter. The other issue is the alignment of the default text itself. It should be aligned more to the middle, not the bottom. I tested this with Safari 4, the latest Webkit and Chrome 5 on Mac OS X 10.6. I'll add a screenshot for clarification.
I'm guessing the event handler is bound to click instead of focus. Should be an easy fix. I'll try to get to it today.
I added a keypress handler to try to catch this case and clear the message once you start typing. See r67236.
