鼠标一点 文字消失 的问题
请问大大们，如果鼠标一点文本框 文本框的默认值 就消失了，然后鼠标点别的地方，文本框又会自动显示默认值，这种效果该怎么做？
我上网搜了很多，用javascript写的，或者是onclick,onblur之类的我都试过，如果是纯html是可以用，但是写在php里面就一点作用都没有！这很奇怪啊！为什么？
代码如下：

JScript code

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
   function addListener(element,e,fn){    
        if(element.addEventListener){    
             element.addEventListener(e,fn,false);    
         } else {    
             element.attachEvent("on" + e,fn);    
          }    
   }
   var txt_oldPsw = document.getElementById("txt_oldPsw");
   addListener(txt_oldPsw,"click",function(){txt_oldPsw.value = "";})
   addListener(txt_oldPsw,"blur",function(){txt_oldPsw.value = "old Password";})

   var txt_newPsw = document.getElementById("txt_newPsw");
   addListener(txt_newPsw,"click",function(){txt_newPsw.value = "";})
   addListener(txt_newPsw,"blur",function(){txt_newPsw.value = "new Password";})

   var txt_reenter = document.getElementById("txt_reenter");
   addListener(txt_reenter,"click",function(){txt_reenter.value = "";})
   addListener(txt_reenter,"blur",function(){txt_reenter.value = "re-enter new password";})
</script>

谢谢了！

------解决方案--------------------
你的 js 要放在 php 之后！
即 txt_newPsw = document.getElementById("txt_newPsw");
需要在 ------解决方案--------------------
JS在清空文本框默认值的时候，顺带把type="text"改成type="password"不就得了。document.getElementById("inputId").type="password";
