On some of our computers and Internet connections, we have the situation where, if you click in the Keyoti QueryTextBox before the web page is finished loading, it doesn't take the typing as search terms, but rather simply refreshes the page when the SearchButton is clicked. We have some gray text initially in the textbox (such as "Enter search terms here") that is erased by JavaScript when the user first clicks in the textbox, but in the case where the page isn't finished loading when the user clicks in the textbox, some of the gray text is retained along with the user's typing.
Is there anything in SearchUnit that would help us overcome this situation, or do I need to build in some sort of test or delay myself?
Thanks!
Dan

It seems to be working fine here with v7 (and I would guess earlier versions), so the problem could be in your code. I don't know if your placeholder/watermark text is done yourself or through our code but you can do it like this Code:
<SearchEngine:SearchBox ClientIDMode="AutoID" runat='server' ResultPageURL='.'
WatermarkVisible=True
WatermarkColor="140, 140, 140" WatermarkText="Search"
ID="SearchBox1"
>
I tested it with Fiddler, with Rules->Performance->Modem speeds and I added a big JPG to the page to slow it right down. Best Jim -your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

Thanks, Jim! I'll see if using the watermark instead of my code changes its behavior.
How do I change the text color to black after the user clicks in the textbox (and the watermark goes away)?

You're right! I had an extra CSS class assigned that I forgot to delete.
Thanks for your help!
