textbox

I have an asp.net form with a text box on it and I also have a label
control. What I want to do is when the textbox has focus I want the label
control to be enabled and populate with some tips on what goes in to the
text box. I am using vb.net and I don't see any event that will allow me to
do what I want, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to do
this. Thanks.
J. D.It's a client-side task. A label renders as a <span> and a textbox does as
an <input type=text>.You need to catch the input's onfocus event and set
the span's innerText to the inbox's "title" property.

Hello there,
You must add an 'onchange' attribute programmaticaly:
tb.Attributes.Add("onchange", lbl.UniqueID & ".value='hello there!';");

In addition to the solutions posted by Eliyahu and Cactus, you can also
design your customized databound control if the tips for each text box are
saved in a database. This is a sample for such databound control:

Or you can use client-side scripting to load xml data, as in this example:
