You don t need to bother with that  Just write   lt input type  text  name  email  placeholder  exemplo exemplo com  size  30  gt    replace the value with placeholder

You could use a placeholder because it does it for you  but for old browsers that don t support placeholder  try this    lt script gt  function clearThis target        if  target value     exemplo exemplo com             target value               function replace target        if  target value          target value    null            target value     exemplo exemplo com            lt  script gt   lt input type  text  name  email  value  exemplo exemplo com  size  x  onfocus  clearThis this   onblur  replace this     gt    CODE EXPLAINED  When the text box has focus  clear the value  When text box is not focused AND when the box is blank  replace the value   I hope that works  I have been having the same issue  but then I tried this and it worked for me

instead of clearing the name text use placeholder attribute it is good practice   lt input type  text  placeholder  name   name  name  gt

For me this is the best way    lt form id  myForm  gt    First name   lt input type  text  name  fname  gt  lt br gt    Last name   lt input type  text  name  lname  gt  lt br gt  lt br gt     lt input type  button  onclick  myFunction    value  Reset form  gt   lt  form gt    lt script gt  function myFunction         document getElementById  myForm   reset       lt  script gt

you can use attribute placeholder   lt input type  text  name  email  placeholder  exemplo exemplo com  size  30    gt    or try this for older browsers   lt input type  text  name  email  value  exemplo exemplo com  size  30  onblur  if this value      this value  exemplo exemplo com     onfocus  if this value   exemplo exemplo com   this value       gt
