Question

The script code below makes ghost text

$('.ghost-text').each(function(){
    var d = $(this).val();
    $(this).focus(function(){
        if ($(this).val() == d){
            $(this).val('').removeClass('ghost-text');
        }
    });
    $(this).blur(function(){
        if ($(this).val() == ''){
            $(this).val(d).addClass('ghost-text');
        }
    });
});

But on submit it passes that default ghost value. How to delete it on submit?

I believe its better to use a placeholder:

<input type="text" id="myTxt" placeholder="enter something..."/>

Or if you want to stick with your js:

 if($.browser.msie){
    $('.ghost-text').each(function(){
        var d = $(this).attr('placeholder');
        $(this).focus(function(){
            if ($(this).val() == d){
                $(this).val('').removeClass('ghost-text');
            }
        });
        $(this).blur(function(){
            if ($(this).val() == ''){
                $(this).val(d).addClass('ghost-text');
            }
        });
    });   

 $('form').submit(function(){
    $('.ghost-text').each(function(){
        if ($(this).val() == $(this).attr('placeholder'))
            $(this).val('');
    });
});
}
