how can i clear the initial text value of a form when submitted?

[tronithan]

So I have a set of text fields that I will use as a bulk item # enter form. So that the customer can enter the item numbers in each and it will run through a serch engine to return the items they enter. I have the initial value set to "item #" and it disapears onFocus. But when the search is submited an item # is also submited in the search if one is not filled out and the search returns 3000 items. How can i get the form to ignore the initial values and just the text the customer enters?
