clearing text boxes

I want to have a prompt a text box on a form so that clears once you
click on it to enter information. eg Ownername field to display "Enter
Surname then First Name" until you click on it.

Thanks
Denis

Typically you would have that text as the label in front of the
textbox. Why is that not appropriate in your case?
