Hi Prasanna,

This is cause that "comment" is a placeholder you can also provide style to placeholder.

Please provide your feedback appropriately (Like, Helpful, Endorse AND/OR Correct) to help community.

Thank you!

Great news, I've heard that HTML Placeholder will be supported natively in Jakarta!

I've written a blog article on the subject: Great UX Trick: HTML Placeholders

you can also try with the Placeholder by creating a UI script and calling it from client script :

UI SCRIPT:

function u_addPlaceholderAttribute(variableName, hint) {  

  try{  

      var fieldName = g_form.getControl(variableName).name.toString();  

      if (Prototype.Browser.IE) {  

          fieldName.placeholder = hint;  

      } else {  

          $(fieldName).writeAttribute('hint', hint);  

      }  

  } catch(err) {}  

}  

Calling UI SCript from CLient Script:

u_addPlaceholderAttribute("Your Variable name here", "hint that needs to be populated");
