hi
here you have not mentioned which page you are on .
but in general you need to find out the template page at which this control is placed.
then you should remove value and placeholder attributes from that control.

good day.

@sarthakinfotech

Actually I place in product page , wish to edit transparent text such as below:
Store Name:
State:
City

Let customer follow my template to fill in , easy for buyer and seller to view , sorry that I don't understand about value and place holder that you mention.

The title of the text area, which is defined in the language file, is also used as the placeholder (the transparent text).

To change it, find the relevant define in the associated language file, e.g.

Code: Select all

$_['entry_textarea'] = 'Textarea';
and change accordingly, e.g.

Code: Select all

$_['entry_textarea'] = 'Address';
Just keep in mind that this will also change the title of the textarea.

yes changing text at language file also a great option :) . if change is needed at only one place than handling tpl file great.

Could you please provide some relevant information instead of just using generic terms? For example:
  • Which page you are referring to?
    What is the actual "textarea" you are referring to?
Without knowing what page you're referring to, nobody can tell you the path(s) to any relevant file(s).

I've figured out what you're referring to.

In your admin, go to "Catalog->Options". In the list, you will find an option called "Textarea". Click the "Edit" button to edit this option and change the "Option Name" to what you want. This will then display as the title to the text area and also the "transparent" text within the textarea field.

I don't use options myself, so I hadn't thought to look in this area.
