I do it by javascript onfocus. a simple google search of this will give you what you want. Most will have the script to change the text in the box, you just need to set it to change the style instead.

Have you done a Google search? Something like "CSS form fields hover" will do the trick. Or even search the DaniWeb forums...

I found this bit of jquery yesterday!

which does several useful things.
