[jQuery] Newbie needs a little help with Digg style javascript


I have a client that wanted a Digg style "Login" form that faded in
and out. I was able to use jquery and some of the Digg code to
accomplish this for the most part, but I'm having a couple issues and
don't know how to write new javascript at all. Here is the sample
link:

1) Top right, Search, Email, etc. If you roll over Search or Email,
the form fades in, works perfectly. The problem is that I need only
one of them to show up at a time. Like if some rolls over Search
first, doesn't use it and then rolls over Email, I want the search box
to disappear.
2) I need to have this same effect on a div for the RSS link. Just a
div with some links in it that will fade in and out, and also
disappear when another tool is rolled over. I tried messing with the
javascript for this RSS div, but could not get it to work at all.
3) Lastly, depending on what browser you are using, in the Search text
field, the temporary text "Enter Your Search Terms" goes away as soon
as the box fades in. I need it to stay there until someone clicks in
the field to type their info. Just like the Optional text does in the
Submit a Tip section.
Here is the link to the javascript that I'm using for these tools:

I would totally appreciate any help that I can get.
