This quick little script will swap out your default value in either a search field or wherever and replace it with nothing when clicked on. Short, simple and to the point. If you need something a bit more robust take a look at Default Value plugin.

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#tagname").focus(function() {
if (this.value == this.defaultValue) {
this.value = "";
}
});
$("#tagname").blur(function() {
if (this.value == "") {
this.value = this.defaultValue;
}
});
});
