Description
Some browsers do not have support in some placeholder inputs.
This function allows you to add functionality.
Add this function to jquery:
jQuery.fn.extend({
placeholder: function(strText){
$(this).focus(function(e){
$(this).val('');
});
$(this).blur(function(e){
if($.trim($(this).val()) == ''){
$(this).val(strText);
}
});
if($.trim($(this).val()) == ''){
$(this).val(strText);
}
}
});
Hi and thanks for your interest in contributing to the jQuery project. However, this proposal is outside of the scope of jQuery core and is much better suited for a plugin. There are a variety of HTML5 input attributes that are not supported in oldIE; polyfills for these behaviours, as well as the general category of reusable UI controls, are not the types of features that will be considered for inclusion in jQuery core.
