jQuery watermark plugin disappearing



I am in search for a good jQuery watermark plugin that work with ASP.NET and found here and downloaded it and included in the head portion







<script src="js/jquery.watermark.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>







I have login and signup on same page and referencing them as:







<script type="text/javascript">

$(function () {

$("#<%= (Login1.FindControl("UserName")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Username");

$("#<%= (Login1.FindControl("Password")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Password");

$("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("UserName")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Username");

$("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("Password")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Password");

$("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("ConfirmPassword")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your ConfirmPassword");

$("#<%= (CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("Email")).ClientID %>").watermark("Enter your Email");

});

</script>







Now the problem is the watermark is showing very well for all the textboxes.If I try to login then the page will be doing postback then all the watermark from the textboxes disappears .





So what do I need to do in order not to remove all of them even though there is a postback.

  1. You can try this simple trick

    <input type="text" value="Enter keyword here"
    onfocus="if(this.value=='Enter keyword here'){this.value=''}"
    onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Enter keyword here'}" />


    Or You can try HTML 5 placeholder

    <input type="text" name="first_name" placeholder="Your first name...">

  2. When you refresh part of a page, the event bindings associated with the replaced elements are thrown out. You need to re-initialize the bindings to the replaced elements. You need to re-run the function inside watermark that does this.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
