Using form_password default values

[eluser]Randallsm83[/eluser]
Hello CI community,

I am coding my first CI page and am trying to utilize the form_password helper. My goal is to have default values displayed in inputs like Email and Password without having to put text next to the input box.

I have two problems:

1. How do I get the form_input fields to revert to default value of say Email if a user deletes this value and focuses another box.

2. When using form_password the default value is hidden text, how can I show the value of say Password.

Thanks for any help!
