Shoutbox input text

[Guest Brendan]

What's up?

 

So I was wondering if anyone knows how to add text into the shoutbox input_text field. Like how the status update has the "What's on your mind" input. And when you start typing, the text goes away to make room for your text.

 

Thanks in advance if anyone could help me out. I'm trying to learn the IPB coding and it's quite fun actually.

Thanks. I finally figured out thanks to your help. I had to add:
 

placeholder='Whats on your mind?'

to this code:

<input type='text' id='shoutbox-global-shout' size='70' class='input_text' />

in the skin_shoutbox_hooks > hookGlobalShoutbox template. Between size='70' & class='input_text'.
