Instructional Text in Adobe Form Grey Please

Question

Hi there,Just wondering if someone could help out with a bit of Java script please I have the following code within a text field and works ok and disappears when you start typing in that field but looking at the text is there a way to make the text light grey instead of black? Tried the second option from Gilad D and didn't work for mehttps://answers.acrobatusers.com/Is-add-instructional-text-text-field-disappear-clicked-q195078.aspx Thanks ..... aussie if (!event.value) {event.value = "DD/MM/YYYY";event.target.display = display.noPrint;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}

If you want to change the font color reliably, you should use the second script provided on this page, but be sure to enter a "default value" in "Properties : Options" for each field.

// On Focus script:
if (event.target.value==event.target.defaultValue) {
    event.target.value = "";
    event.target.textColor = color.black;
}

// On Blur script:
if (event.target.value=="") {
    event.target.value = event.target.defaultValue;
    event.target.textColor = color.ltGray;
}
