    To do this you will need to use a scripting language, probably javascript. Here an example

    <input type='text' value'Some text' onclick='javascript: this.value = ""' />
    

    Hope this helps.

    Edit:

    To meet what David is explain here is a second example in case that is what you are looking for

    <script type='javascript'>
        var clear = true;
        function clear(obj)
        {
            if(clear)
            {
                obj.value = '';
                clear = false;
            }
        }
    </script>
    
    <input type='text' value'Some text' onfocus='clear(this);' />
