Auto Highlight Default Text Field Input

Is there any way to make it so that when you click on a text field with a default value, highlight this when you click on it or clear out the field, whichever is easier?  I want the ability to click on the field to enter text right away, not have to delete what is defaulted in the field.  thank you.

Place this script in an "onFocus" action:

 

if (event.target.value == event.target.defaultValue) {event.target.value = "";}
