Clearing a Text Entry

May 27, 2019

Is there a trigger or any mechanism to clear the contents of a Text Entry field on focus?

My question was clear:  Trigger mechanism - to clear content of Text Entry.

Hi Sam

the difference is a TE object on a normal slide can be accessed via the trigger wizard and you can click it.

A fill in the blank TE object on a quiz slide you can't access the TE field from the trigger wizard.

All the best with your project.

OK, that works.  Now where did this became confusing.

One more trigger is needed in the attached .story: If the tab order is set and the Username field is active, the content remains, even though the TE field Username has focus.

Further, if the learner tabs to the Email field, the content remains visible there too.

Is there another trigger that can accompany the mouse over trigger to clear the contents on focus?

it sure does.  I thought you said above you were using a quiz slide - this is just a normal slide in your example. Each time I answer a query you add another requirement to it...like accessibility/tab order. 

See if the attached works for you.
