 * Hi,
    We are using version 3.4.2 of this plugin and we need to clear the default
   field values when the inputs are clicked on. I found this old thread that explains
   how to do it, but it is for an old version, and the code is no longer applicable:

 * Does anyone have any updated instructions on how to add this functionality?
 * Thanks,
    Colin
