<input name="textbox" type="text" value="Click here to type" onfocus="if(this.value=='Click here to type')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='Click here to type';">

..onfocus/onblur work on textfields but not textarea elements. Is there any workaround, using jQuery maybe?

    <textarea onfocus="if(this.value=='Click here to type')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='Click here to type';">Click here to type</textarea>
    

    Works for me.

    Could fail if you put some extra newlines/spaces in the value of course.
