Hints automatically added to inputs

To use:
  add class to input: input_use_hint
  add alt tag with hint text
  e.g. <input id="search" class="my_custom_input_search_class input_use_hint" type="text" value="" alt="My Hint Text">
  make sure two classes are added to css
    input.input_hint { color: #888; }
    input.input_hint_active { color: #000; }

Notes:
  works for text, password and email input types
  doesn't overwrite existing classes

  rewrite in jquery, addition of email input type, doesn't overwrite existing css classes
