Add default value to City field in Billing and Shipping

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

Just like there is a default value for 'State/Province' field which is: 'Please select region, state or province' I need to add a default value to City field in billing and shipping steps in checkout.
In my case the City is drop-down list getting its list of cities from database.

In app>design>frontend>base>default>template>checkout>onepage>billing.phtml, the city field code is:

<div class="field">

     <label for="billing:city" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('City') ?>

     </label>



     <div class="input-box">

        <input type="text" title="<?php echo $this->__('City') ?>" 

             name="billing[city]" 

             value="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getAddress()->getCity()) ?>" 

             class="input-text <?php echo $this->helper('customer/address')->getAttributeValidationClass('city') ?>"

             id="billing:city"/>

     </div>

</div>

If I understand you, you want to force your users to have default value on city section then change this:

value="<?php echo "your city name"; //$this->escapeHtml($this->getAddress()->getCity()) ?>" 

This will make default city on city field.

PS

By default Magento pools city data for registered customer from database using $this->escapeHtml($this->getAddress()->getCity()) function.

So when you change this, it will never pool that data.

If like the state/province you just want to show what is effectively help text, I suggest you add a placeholder attribute to the input box. So something like...

<<input type="text" title="<?php echo $this->__('City') ?>" 

         name="billing[city]" 

         value="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getAddress()->getCity()) ?>" 

         class="input-text <?php echo $this->helper('customer/address')->getAttributeValidationClass('city') ?>"

         id="billing:city"

         placeholder="<?php echo $this->__('Please enter city'); ?>"/>

Then if they empty the value out the placeholder text will appear again.
