    For anyone too lazy to type this out (like I was), use the prompt below and change your instructional value. I have mine as "First and Last name" if (!event.value) { event.value = "First and Last Name" ; event.target.textcolor = color.ltGray; event.target.display = display.noPrint; } else { event.target.textColor = color.black; event.target.display = display.visible; }

    Hello, I'm following your channel and all video from the last year. I got lots of help watching your videos. I have a request, please make a new series/playlist for "Learning PDF Form JavaScript from beginner to advanced" or ""Learning PDF Form JavaScript from Zero to Hero". I hope it will help massive people. Because such kind of content is not so much available. Especially for beginners. Thank you so much👍🙂🙏

    This would be great if you had audio... it's so confusing trying to work out the sequence of actions from watching. No idea what I'm supposed to do.
