Here is an example widget that should do what you want:
def text_widget(f,v):
inp = SQLFORM.widgets.text.widget(f,v)
inp['_onfocus'] = "jQuery(this).val('');"
return inp
This is how you would use it:
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('mytext',
'text',default='Enter a value',
widget=text_widget))
Hope that helps.
