A jQuery plugin that enables the HTML5 placeholder attribute in browsers lacking native support.
- jQuery (1.11.2 or newer)
- Firefox < 3.7, Safari < 4, Internet Explorer < 10
In your HTML:
<input placeholder="+1 (555) 555-5555">
<textarea placeholder="Four score and seven years ago…"></textarea>
In your JavaScript:
$().ready( function() {
$('input, textarea').placehold('placeholderClassName');
});
