I really like web sites that have search boxes with the grayed out text message that clears when clicked in. See attached images. It seems that this would be a great feature for the StrataFrame-wrapped controls like the textbox, combobox, etc., especially in BrowseDialogs. This would another little UI feature that would really help the product shine.
Thanks,
Derek
