You can use this ajax if you want a cross browser compatible version. 

<ajaxToolkit:TextBoxWatermarkExtender ID="EmailClear" runat="server" TargetControlID="EmailAddress" WatermarkText="[email protected]" />

You just have to add this under each field.

Try this for a server control:

<asp:TextBox ID="textBox1" runat="server" placeholder="[email protected]"></asp:TextBox>

For an HTML control:

<input Type="Text" ID="textBox1"  placeholder="[email protected]" />

You can use like this

<TextBox ID="txtone" runat="server" tooltip="Enter comments"
onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='[email protected]';"
onfocus="if(this.value == '[email protected]') this.value='';"
Text="[email protected]"></TextBox>

You can do the following:

  1. Add textbox to your webpage.
  2. Set the default text in the obj.Text property.
  3. Add properties ( focus & blur events).
  4. On focus event, check if the value = [email protected] , then empty the text box.
  5. On blur, check if the textbox is empty, then set the text : [email protected]

Hope that helps

If you are working on newer browsers then you can use placeholder property which is new in HTML 5

<asp:TextBox ID="textBox1" runat="server" placeholder="[email protected]"></asp:TextBox>

otherwise you can also use onfocus and onblur event to do this as described here
