I am doing a phonegap app. When I am trying type="date" input field as shown below, it shows date picker in iPhone as I expected but it doesn't show the placeholder I have given. I found the same issue here in SO, but no solution anywhere.

 <input placeholder="Date" class="textbox-n" type="date" id="date">
