For example, let's say we have a textbox that's supposed to take the port number of the engine server:
O4WTextbox(value, "", "", "PORTNO" , "PORTNO")
We can put in, as the prompt, the default value - in this case, it shows the user what value we will use even if they leave it blank - and we can spell out in more detail what we are looking for in the help text. Our new code will look like this:
helpText = "Enter an available tcp/ip port for normal connection requests (default 8088)"
promptText = "8088"
O4WTextbox(value, "", "", "PORTNO", "PORTNO", O4WInputBoxOptions("number", "", "", "", promptText):O4WHelpStyle("", helpText))
We use O4WInputBoxOptions to specify the prompt, and O4WHelpStyle to specify the help text.
(Notice that we have specified, as parameter #1 to the O4WInputBoxOptions, "number" - this means we are telling the browser to expect a number, and different browsers might use this information in different ways. For example, some browsers on mobile phones will pop up a special numeric keyboard if they see this, while others might disallow any non-numeric entry.)
Note that the O4WHelpStyle can be applied to almost _anything_ - not just textboxes, but also items in a listbox, radio buttons, checkboxes, even plain text, headers, etc. Prompt text, only applies to textboxes.
