Placeholder

Build Status

Placeholder adds support for the "placeholder" input attribute in older browsers.

Features

  • Takes the label of form field (input.text or textarea) and uses it as that field's temporary default value.
  • Clears the temporary value when the form field is in focus
  • If the user clear the text of the field, when the user leaves the field the temporary value reappears
  • Optionally you can keep the label from being removed (check the api for more details)
  • If the field has already a default value than that value will be used, instead of the temporary label, but the label if exists will be removed.
  • When the form is submitted the temporary labels that weren't changes will be replaced with the fields original value, or empty if the field didn't have a default value.

Dependencies
