Clear inputs that have default text

Sometimes the HTML5 placeholder attribute isn't ideal. In those situations, it's pretty each to add this JS to your page (make sure to also include jQuery) to cover all your text/email inputs

$("input[type='text'], input[type='email']").focus ->
    content = @getAttribute("value")
    $(this).val "" if $(this).val() is content

$("input[type='text'], input[type='email']").blur ->
    content = @getAttribute("value")
    $(this).val content if $(this).val() is ""

or if coffeescript isn't your thing

$("input[type='text'], input[type='email']").focus(function() {
    var content;
    content = this.getAttribute("value");
    if ($(this).val() === content) {
      return $(this).val("");
    }
});

$("input[type='text'], input[type='email']").blur(function() {
    var content;
    content = this.getAttribute("value");
    if ($(this).val() === "") {
        return $(this).val(content);
    }
});
