Another example of it on Payroll.com Try the "sign in" field on the right.

This is a copy of intuit.com where the search in the top right does the same
in a slightly different way.

The method described above by Klaus is technically better because it doesn't
invent non-XHTML attributes.
However, you should consider changing the color of the text in the field to
gray when the "hint" is in there.  It helps the user differentiate between
typed in data and pre-populated hints.

I guess I should have used the "title" attr rather than the "hint"
attribute.  Oh well.  Spilled milk.
