how can i do this using javascript?
my textbox has a default value which is italic but when it is clicked the textbox will be cleared and the fontstyle should be normal.
A:
set the style in javascript method:
document.getElementById('test').style="font-style:normal;"

A:
try something like that :
<input type="text" value="Enter user ID here"
style="font-style:italic;"
onfocus="this.value='';this.style.fontStyle='normal';"
onblur="clickrecall(this,'Enter user ID here');this.style.fontStyle='italic';">
EDIT : As we clear the format when user enters the textbox, we should set the fontStyle to italic back when he goes out.

thanks for the fast reply.when i tried this the text is italic in default and when clicked the font style turns to normal but there's a problem. in my textbox the default text is restored when nothing is typed in the textbox. when the default text is restored the font style becomes normal. it should still be in italic.
