Dear Friend,

I use the same, use this hope it works.

HTML

<input type="text" name="filter" onfocus="searchfield_focus(this)" onBlur="fun_return(this)" value="Enter The Text To Search">

JavaScript

<script language="javascript">
function searchfield_focus(obj)
{
	obj.style.color=""
	obj.style.fontStyle=""
	if (obj.value=="Enter The Text To Search")
	{
		obj.value=""
	}
}
function fun_return(obj)
{
	if (obj.value=="")
	{
		obj.style.color="#808080"
		obj.style.fontStyle="italic"
		obj.value="Enter The Text To Search"
	}
}
</script language="javascript">

Regards,
