Django: Make all text and password inputs show their label within their field, and blank when a user clicks on them.
'''
This is a coffeescript file that when loaded will,
for all text and password inputs:
1. remove field label using .prev('label')
2. insert the label's text into the value of the field input
3. blank the field input when a user focuses on the field

$ = jQuery
maiden_text = (e) ->

Moves any labels into the input's val(),
hides label, blanks val() on user focus.
Works for passwords.
