Hi Maciej

Everyone had given you good feedback already, but just to stick my
oar in... 

>From what I have read and seen demonstrated with eye-tracking
heatmaps (but not from first-hand experience), label placement inside
text boxes can cause a bit of trouble. People often look for labels to
the left of a text box, for example, so it might be weird when it
isn't there. Plus, and form element that appears to me completed
already can sometimes be ignored (in fact, thinking about it, I have
seen that in a test).

However, you or I probably wouldn't be deterred by that kind of
label placement, so it depends on experience. As Christina says, test
test test. 

Jarrett and Gaffney have some really good stuff on forms in their
book, too. I think they would say that if the form is well design
overall, and the user is engaged in a "dialogue" with the form,
then the label placement is not such a big deal...
