If the user clicks away from the real password input without entering text, we want to replace the label.

All nice... But there is a major drawback: Non-JS Browsers now show a Text-Field instead of a Password-Field. Solution: Write a password-field into your HTML - use JS to hide it and display the mock-text-field instead.

Great Solution! I set this up for both Username and Password.

I also gave the mockpass / mockuser a name "password2" "username2" and did some php code to check these values if "username" and "password" from realuser / realpass are empty just incase the user has javascript disabled.. this way the form still works no matter what.

Yes Kenneth IE is crap - everyone is unfortunately still dealing with the mess the lazy IE developers have made (now with three versions to support - yeah for browsers standards!).

Instead of having the textbox type available via JavaScript aka - formfieldname.type, you have resort to hacks and workarounds to appease the IE gods - who think their browers don't have to ever follow W3C specifications that were established darn near a DECADE ago.

IE is always the lowest common denomintator and will be becuase their browsers are flawed. Long live Mozilla!

This is the main reason why I don't use internet explorer.. but I'll try this one on someone else computer, this will surely be tricky!!
