I want to provide the user with a hint on what he needs to enter into my text field. However, when I set the value, it does not disappear once a user clicks on the text fiel
This is exactly what you want
$(document).tooltip({ selector: "[title]", placement: "top", trigger: "focus", animation: false});
Browser tooltip appears on hover but disappears on clicking the input field. But this one persists while user is typing within the field
