How to set a default value for a field but still allow the value to be changed

I am wondering how I would go about creating a script that would show a default value in a field, but also allow the user to change that value if need be.

Thank you.

    Hi USA80,

    please use the following code:

    function OnLoad()
    {
        var defaultvalue = "My default value";
        var attrvalue = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_myattribute").getValue();
        if (attrvalue == null)
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_myattribute").setValue(defaultvalue);
    }

    Let me know if you solve.
