A good way to show default text in searchbox

Have you seen this site's searchbox?It shows Search... by default,when it get focus,it's blank.Actually this can be done by simple html code.I just know it last week,share it to you all.

  Code:

<input name="s" value="Search..." onfocus="if(value=='Search...'){value=''}" onblur="if(value==''){value='Search...'}">

Actually it works for me in this way

  Code:

<input name="s" value="Search..." onfocus="if(value==\'Search...\'){value=\'\'}" onblur="if(value==\'\'){value=\'Search...\'}">

I have used the \ to transfer meanings.

well,yes,you need to do that if you are using it in a string

oH!!!! Its great. I am so much happy to get this information

Good post mate. Website design is just about tweaking code. There is no optimal solution. You have to learn it by experiment. And I like your approach as you are doing just that.

it is useful. We can also use one technique called textbox watermarking using javascript. Also modify the css to show the default text . The coding is
<input type="text" class="hint" value="Search..."
onfocus="if (this.className=='hint') { this.className = ''; this.value = ''; }"
onblur="if (this.value == '') { this.className = 'hint'; this.value = 'Search...'; }">
