What browsers support the placeholder html tag for text inputs? Does Internet Explorer support it? (I have a JavaScript placeholder that I can use for the browsers that do not support it.)
<input type=TEXT placeholder="placeholder here" />
For anyone interested, this is the jQuery Fallback that I use
I use it with jQuery Validation Engine.
Replace FORMCLASS with the class of your form.
<!-- IF IE - use Placeholder Fallback -->
<!--[if lt IE 10 ]>
<script>
$(".FORMCLASS").find('[placeholder]').each(function(){
$(this).val($(this).attr('placeholder'));
$(this).focus(function() {
if ($(this).attr('placeholder')==$(this).val()) {
$(this).val('');
}
});
});
</script>
