How to set a default text if a input text is empty?

Question

how can i do it with JQuery? I use the change event but if i submit or reset the form the text is not set again. I need to show a text(it is a datapicker, so i need to show a date) inside the input.

How to do it?

Thanks!

You can do this without Javascript. Using HTML5 is easier:

<input type="text" placeholder="default text" />
