I don’t know if this has a special name for it, but is there a nice easy way to set default text in an input field which disappears on focus and reappears on blur if the textbox is empty?

the word is WATERMARK
I encourage to use a plugin, unless you have plenty of time developing and testing. There are many issues and side-effects to take notice of when writing this code.
Thus distinguish the watermark text from inputted text.
