If anyone runs into an issue where in some browsers hitting refresh or the back button causes the plugin not to work (because the browser is pre-populating the fields with the watermarked value) you can fix it by changing the keyup event to this:

.keyup(function(){
this.changed = ($(this).val() && $(this).val() !== $(this).attr(’title’) ? true : false);
})

Otherwise works like a charm!

However, I'm also using the jQuery validate plugin which highlights any missing fields. It works well with yours as the title values ARE cleared before the submit.. Yet, if the form fails validation all I end up with is the blank boxes and no watermarked text in the invalid fields. Is there a call I can make to re-test and re-populate the text boxes with the watermarked values? Hope that makes sense...
