Is this possible to achieve without javascript/jQuery?

I currently have a login template with the input fields as:

 <input id="username" type="text" name"username" placeholder="username" autofocus>

I was wondering if there was a way when the user clicked their mouse on the field to type the placeholder text would disappear without using javascript if possible? Before this i was just using value and echoing the variables out into the fields but currently experimenting with HTML 5 and CSS3.

Thanks.

    New browsers have a native way to do this. And if supported, you don’t have to do anything.

    With older browsers you do need to use javascript.

    Edit: When using new features on old browsers its called Pollyfills. Here is a nice list with a lot of pollyfills that can be used together with Modernizer, that in turn can detect this features.
