What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Reference jquery-1.5.2.min.js
2.Open page and Refresh browser
3.Or Close browser

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get js Error: 'type' is null or not an object. See the image file.

Tried Watermark 3.1.1 / 3.1.3 with jquery-1.5.2. 
It works fine with jquery-1.5.1 and jquery-1.5

Please provide any additional information below.

   <script src="jquery.watermark.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $("#Text1").watermark("First Name");
        });

FYI: I get this with IE 8 and not with FF 4.0. Using Windows 7.

jQuery 1.5.2 has a regression bug that is supposed to be fixed in 1.5.3.  The 
bug relates to the beforeunload event, and only seems to happen in IE8 and 
lower.

If you really need to use 1.5.2, you can disable the beforeunload event in the 
watermark plugin by setting hideBeforeUnload to false in the watermark options.

Here is the bug causing the problem:  http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8755

I changed the status of this issue to "WontFix" because I'm hoping jQuery 1.5.3 
is released soon.  I don't see another reasonable solution, since it's jQuery 
that's breaking this.
