What is a good jQuery plugin for a showing default value in an input box that disappears when it gets focus or a user starts entering text?

A: 

The class/type of plugins you're looking for are called watermark plugins, there are quite a few out there, for example check jquery-watermark out.

It depends on how much you want from it, there are also very minimal versions, like In-Field.

A: 

I used this one and it works pretty well. http://fuelyourcoding.com/scripts/infield/

It's a bit quirky but works once you understand it
