I am trying to display a default message as a placeholder for my textbox. When the user clicks, the default message disappears and an empty textbox is presented to the user - to enter whatever information he or she chooses to.

This works good for all browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) except for IE v9.

what is up with this? 

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server" BackColor="Silver" 
                BorderColor="Silver" Height="20px" Style="margin-left: 6px" Width="160px" 
                placeholder = "Enter Member ID here." ></asp:TextBox>

IE9 doesn't support placeholder attribute from HTML5.
You can do it via Javascript or numerous plugins mentioned over here.
