You may use this     lt body gt       lt form method    action    gt           lt input type  text  name  email  class  input    gt           lt input type  submit  value  Sign Up  class  button    gt       lt  form gt   lt  body gt    lt script gt        document  ready function                 input   val  Email Address                input   on  focus   function                     input   val                              button   on  click   function event                    input   val                           lt  script gt    Talking of your own code  the problem is that the attr api of jquery is set by      input   attr  value   Email Adress      and not as you have done       input   attr  value      Email address

Unless you re really worried about older browsers  you could just use the new html5 placeholder attribute like so    lt input type  text  name  email  placeholder  Email address  class  input    gt
