Version 3.1.2 does not work with jQuery 1.5.1 and Firefox 3.6.15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Reproduce the problem by doing the following:
1. Download jquery-watermark 3.1.2
2. Change the loaded jquery Version in jquery.watermark.htm to 1.5.1: 
google.load("jquery", "1.5.1");
3. Open page with Firefox 3.6

With jQuery 1.5.1 the Watermarks are only appearing on FF 3.6 in <textarea> and 
<input type="password"> elements, but not in <input type="text"> elements. I 
also tested it with IE8 where everything is working fine.

With jQuery 1.5.0 then everything works in FF 3.6 and IE8.

Thank you for the problem report.  

This was caused by a jQuery regression bug in 1.5.1 that does not properly 
identify input elements using an "input:text" selector in Firefox 3.6 when the 
input element does not include a type attribute. 

When a type attribute is not included, the input element supposed to be 
identified as a text type by default, but jQuery is not identifying it as such 
-- at least not in Firefox.

I implemented a work-around in the selector so that it will no longer cause a 
problem.  (The fix is included in version 3.1.3 of the plugin, which is now 
available for download.)
