title: Is there a jQuery plugin for fading textbox hints?
body: <p>I was wondering whether there is a jQuery plugin available which can show hints in a textbox when it is empty.</p>
  
  <p>What I found was: <a href="http://remysharp.com/2007/01/25/jquery-tutorial-text-box-hints/" rel="nofollow">http://remysharp.com/2007/01/25/jquery-tutorial-text-box-hints/</a>. However, this just acts as the <code>placeholder</code> HTML5 attribute. What I'm looking for is rather a plugin that shows multiple hints with fading, as on <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wolframalpha.com/</a>. (<strong>Edit:</strong> I mean the grey text in the textbox - not the tooltip.)</p>
  
  <p>Although it might not be too much trouble to create it myself, I don't subscribe to the theory of reinventing the wheel - so does anyone know if such a plugin is already available?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
