Can I have a custom code solution to add or remove text inside a form input in Webflow?

Yes, you can use custom code in Webflow to add or remove text inside a form input. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer and select the page or element that contains the form input you want to modify.

  2. Click on the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar.

  3. Scroll down to the "Custom Code" section and click on the "Head Code" button.

  4. Inside the <script> tags, you can use JavaScript to add or remove text inside a form input. Here's an example of how you can add text:

<script>  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {    var input = document.querySelector("input[type='text']"); // Replace "input[type='text']" with the appropriate CSS selector for your form input    input.value = "Your custom text"; // Replace "Your custom text" with the text you want to add  });</script>

Explanation of the code:

  • The document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {...}) ensures that the custom code is executed once the page has finished loading.
  • The document.querySelector("input[type='text']") selects the form input using a CSS selector. You can modify this selector to target the specific form input you want to modify. For example, you could use "#myInput" to select an input with the ID of "myInput".
  • The input.value = "Your custom text"; sets the value of the form input to the specified text. Replace "Your custom text" with the text you want to add.
  1. After adding the custom code, make sure to publish your site for the changes to take effect.

To remove text inside a form input, you can use a similar approach. Instead of setting the input.value, you can simply set it to an empty string like this: input.value = "";.

Remember to test your custom code thoroughly to ensure that it works as expected across different browsers and devices.
