try something like that : 

<input type="text" value="Enter user ID here" 
  style="font-style:italic;" 
  onfocus="this.value='';this.style.fontStyle='normal';" 
  onblur="clickrecall(this,'Enter user ID here');this.style.fontStyle='italic';">

EDIT : As we clear the format when user enters the textbox, we should set the fontStyle to italic back when he goes out.
