can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial that would get me similar functionality of twitter’s signup form on their homepage?
specifically I’m referring to having the ‘name’ and ‘password’ etc. text fade when selected and disappear when you start typing.
Basically, you’ll need some Javascript to perform the fadeout animation based on a focus event when the user starts to fill out the form. Here’s a good tutorial and demo to get you started:

Hope this helps!
