I could not find a method to use $InputTags in order too create the
desired two types of text box. But I managed a way to use javascript
and the name of input text. Here is the code:

$InputTags['text'][':html'] = "<input type='text' \$InputFormArgs
    onfocus=\"pv=this.value; if(this.name.indexOf('-clear')!=-1) this.value=''\" onblur=\"this.value=pv\" />";

An input textbox defined like this will clear the value in it when
clicked, if the name contains '-clear', otherwise it will not clear the
value.

so (:input text box1-clear "Some Value":) will clear when
clicked, but (:input text box2 "Another Value":) will not
clear the value from the box when clicked.

Such redefined input text box may prove quite useful I think.
