Forms 2.0 - no labels and using default value

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.

    Kenny - what an idiot I am for not seeing that option/not knowing what it did. Thank you for offering this easy fix!

    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: [                 ]
