That is an HTML question, it has nothing to do with javascript. But
anyway, if you mean something like:

<input type="text" value="<b>name:</b>" ...>


and expect the text "name:" to be bold, then the answer is no. The
value of a text input is CDATA that is not parsed by the browser, it is
treated as literal text.
