jQuery Watermarked input and validation

Question

On a HTML page I have an inputbox that has a \'watermark\' on it when it is empty. (eg: \"enter text here...\"). Kind of like this: http://digitalbush.com/projects/watermark

Thanks to Kazar for providing me with the link, I came up with the following solution (if anyone is interested):

    function notWatermark(value, element){
        return value != 'enter text...';
    }

    $.validator.addMethod("notWatermark", notWatermark, "Field cannot be empty.");

    $('#SearchForm').validate({
        rules: {
            SomeField: {
                required: true,
                notWatermark: true
            }
         },
