You want what is often called a PlaceHolder. Nice coverage of it in the "Learning jQuery" book by Chaffer and Swedberg. Basically you want to set a focus handler that notices if the value is your placeholder text (eg "Day") and sets the text value to "" in that case. It's nice if your blur handler puts back the placeholder text if it's still blank.
