Forms 2.0 - no labels and using default value

Question

I'm attempting to replicate something we had working quite well with our old forms, whereas there is no label next to the form field, instead - the default value is set to read "First Name" within the field itself, for example.

In forms 2.0 i am having a problem where the default value does not erase once a user inserts their cursor into the field. So they have to literally erase the word "First Name" to type in their own.

Anyone have a quick workaround, perhaps involving some javascript that would erase the default with active cursor?

Are you opposed to using Hint Text on the form? Which is, in essence, just adding a placeholder attribute to the input. It disappears once the lead starts typing in the input field.

I'm having problem with this. I already emptied the Hint Text on the form but still the text appears on the text field.

So i have like this:

Label: Textfield

First Name: [ First Name ]

I want like this one
First Name: [ ]
