Input text set a default value which shoud be removed when click to enter my text

Question

I have an input text, I wanna set a default value on it and when I click to enter my text. The default value must be removed. how to do that.

That's a terrible idea. If the default value should be removed if the user thinks about changing it, then it is a terrible default. Maybe you want a placeholder or a label instead (keeping in mind that they are [not interchangeable](http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201204/the_html5_placeholder_attribute_is_not_a_substitute_for_the_label_element/)) — Quentin, Mar 17 '14 at 13:47

I think you want a placeholder:

<input placeholder="Write something here..."/>
