title: How can I make an ie8 textbox show the cursor when it contains a watermark?
body: <p>I am using a relative positioned span to create a watermark behind a transparent textbox. This works fine in all the browsers that I need it to work in including ie7, chrome and firefox. However in ie8 if you click directly on the watermark the textbox does not seem to register the click and the cursor does not appear.</p>
  
  <p>How can I fix this.</p>
  
  <p>I have built a demo on jsfiddle...</p>

  <p>Make somthing other than the input field have the focus and then click directly on 'Enter name', in ie8 and the cursor will not appear. However if works in other browsers including ie7 and it also works if you click in front of the watermark.</p>
