I only put that there in case someone was thinking they could use it for all their forms. This enhancement should only really be used for short forms (contact pages, search forms etc.). If you've got a long registration form for example, you should use regular labels instead of default values. @<strong>Ionut</strong>, Nice work! :) I didn't know that <code>$.fn.select()</code> did that! @Santiago, No, it won’t slow down a page.
