Answer 1

I have got it another way,

An email input field and css watermark class.

<style type="text/css">
    input.watermark { color: #999; } //light silver color
</style>

<label>Email : </lable>
<input id="email" type="text" />

jQuery to apply the watermark effect on email field.

$(document).ready(function() {

    var watermark = 'Puts your email address';

    //init, set watermark text and class
    $('#email').val(watermark).addClass('watermark');

    //if blur and no value inside, set watermark text and class again.
    $('#email').blur(function(){
        if ($(this).val().length == 0){
            $(this).val(watermark).addClass('watermark');
        }
    });

    //if focus and text is watermrk, set it to empty and remove the watermark class
    $('#email').focus(function(){
        if ($(this).val() == watermark){
            $(this).val('').removeClass('watermark');
        }
    });
});
