Hey guys!

I'm developing a small app where i ask users to put some info. I want to show text hints in the input fields. I do this in a for loop... When the page is loaded, the hints are displayed correctly but nothing happens on 'focus' and 'blur' events...

I'm wondering why since when I don't use a 'for loop' in my js code, everything works find...

By the way the reason I use a for loop is because I don't want to repeat myself following 'DRY' principles...

Thx for your help!

Here's the code:

<script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var form_elements = ['#submission_url', '#submission_email', '#submission_twitter']
var text_hints = ['Website Address', 'Email Address', 'Twitter Username (optional)']

$(document).ready(function(){
    for(i=0; i<3; i++) {
      $(form_elements[i]).val(text_hints[i]);

          $(form_elements[i]).focus(function(i){
        if ($(this).val() == text_hints[i]) {
        $(this).val('');
        }
          });
          $(form_elements[i]).blur(function(i){
        if ($(this).val() != text_hints[i]) {
        $(this).val(text_hints[i]);
        }
          });
        }
    });
   </script>
