Use AutoRaise! From the docs: “When you hover a window it will be raised to the front (with a delay of your choosing) and gets the focus.” Web page: https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise Download: https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip - d ~ ~ / Downloads / AutoRaise - master . zip
cd ~ / AutoRaise - master && make clean && make
make install
My ~/.AutoRaise file:
#AutoRaise config file
delay = 3

Here is a VERY simplistic watermark code snippet. It has the distinct disadvantage of submitting the watermark string as the field value, and does not set the initial field value either…YMMV…
jQuery ( '#yourInput' )
. focusin ( function ( ) {
if ( jQuery ( '#yourInput' ) . val ( ) == 'Enter keywords to search for' ) jQuery ( '#yourInput' ) . val ( '' ) ;
} )
. focusout ( function ( ) {
if ( jQuery ( '#yourInput' ) . val ( ) == '' ) jQuery ( '#yourInput' ) . val ( 'Enter keywords to search for' ) ;
} ) ;

Important Note: This solution REQUIRES jQuery 1.6 or better due to the addition of the :focus selector! Here is how I used it for a form in a jQuery UI dialog:
var Info = jQuery ( this ) . find ( ':focus' ) . get ( 0 ) . tagName ;
if ( tagName == 'INPUT' ) return false ;

As of jQuery 1.4.1 .live() can accept multiple, space-separated events, similar to the functionality provided in .bind(). For example, we can “live bind” the click and focus events at the same time like so:
jQuery ( '.datepick' ) . live ( 'click focus' , function ( ) {
jQuery ( this ) . datepicker ( 'destroy' ) . datepicker ( { showOn : 'both' } ) ;
} ) ;
Another example, this time creating a hover effect:
jQuery ( '.rollover' ) . live ( 'mouseover mouseout' , function ( event ) {
if ( event . type == 'mouseover' ) {
// do something on mouseover
} else {
// do something on mouseout
}
} ) ;
