In ASP.NET MVC the code for doing this is by using java-script in razor view like in the next example:

@Html.TextBox("searchValue", Session["SearchValue"] == null || ((string)Session["SearchValue"]).Length == 0 ? Resources.Resource.SearchLabel : (string)Session["SearchValue"], new { @class = "quickSearchTextBox", onFocus = "if (this.value=='" + Resources.Resource.SearchLabel + "') this.value='';"})

The idea is to test if the user input something (or delete all) in the text box, and in the case there is no input to show a message hint, otherwise to keep the user input. In the code above I keep in the Session the value input by user to not lost it between post backs.

Solution 2

That is called, placeholder.
I'm taking a ASP .NET example to explain you this.

ASP

<asp:textbox id="fnameTxt" runat="server" placeholder="First Name" />

Or may find bit more appropriate answer on W3c[^].

Good Luck :)
