An edit box is a standard name used to describe an editable field within an online form. You can use an edit box to enter information, or you can edit existing information. You must be focused on the edit box before information will be accepted. Sometimes, when an edit box is first focused on, the information in it is highlighted; in this case, you will obliterate it all by typing, unless you unhighlight it by pressing one of the arrow (cursor) keys.
