I haven't tested this but it might work for you:
$j('<input type="text" name="symptom" value="Enter Symptom"
class="focusClear"/>').insertAfter(this).focus(function(){
$(this).val('');
});
That should have the right context (your new node, not this) and you
don't have to look it up again in another line.
HTH!
