Blank a textbox when selected

I've been to sites that have a textbox with text in it until you tab
into it or click on it and then the text disappears. I'd like to do that
with a password field in my project. I imagine I'd need to do it with
Javascript, which I'm not very experienced with. Does anyone have or
know of any examples of this I could look at? Thanks!

Do this in page load

if not ispostback
textbox1.attributes.add("OnFocus","this.value='';" )

that should do it.
