I am working with some simple jQuery to add onfocus/onblur events to a generated form. The following code works in other browsers, except IE7/8:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $("input#edit-submitted-first-name").attr('onfocus', "if(this.value=='First Name') this.value = ''");
   $("input#edit-submitted-first-name").attr('onblur', "if(this.value=='') this.value = 'First Name'");
});

In IE source, its not even adding it to the inputs. Is there an IE bug about this?

    I don’t think events are supposed to be assigned this way.

    Why not use

    $("input#edit-submitted-first-name").focus(function(){ if (this.....
    $("input#edit-submitted-first-name").blur(function(){ if (this.....
    

    ?
