I am looking to use the InPlaceEdit control to allow input of an optional field.  If there is no data for the field I want it to say "<enter email address>"  

 Is there a way to capture the click event to "clear" this temporary text.  The click event of this control doesn't seem to get triggered until I click away.

<gaia:InPlaceEdit ID="editor" runat="server"></gaia:InPlaceEdit>

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            editor.Text = "&lt;Enter Email Address&gt;"
        End If

    End Sub

    Protected Sub editor_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Gaia.WebWidgets.AspectClickable.ClickEventArgs) Handles editor.Click
        editor.Text = ""
    End Sub

Thanks Sergey - the javascript workaround would be great.  I'm able to capture the textchanged event and do my validation so I would love to be able to fully use the control.  Thanks again!

Great suggestion from nfreeze!
I have already opened the tracker item: http://tracker.gaiaware....fault.aspx?p=1&i=357
Meanwhile here is the javascript snippet I promised :-)

As always put it somewhere at the end of the page.
