if(!$.trim($(#productsTextArea1).val())){

        helpTip = help string ....;

        $(#productsTextArea1).val(helpTip);

        $(#productsTextArea1).css(color,#999);

        $(#productsTextArea1).click(function(event){

            if($(#productsTextArea1).val().indexOf(Enter a return)>-1){

                $(#productsTextArea1).css(color,black).val();

            }

        });

    } else {

         $(#productsTextArea1).blur();

UPDATE:

Use HTML5 Placeholder attribute, you don't need to use any js.

    <textarea id=productsTextArea1 name=product rows=5 

placeholder=Some Hint Text is Placed Here></textarea>

To disable autofocus on all input elements use this.

  $(function(){

        $('input').blur();

    });

To disbale autofocus on a particular element, pass the element id as below:

$(function(){

    $('input#someid').blur();

});
