Placeholder plugin for jQuery
A jQuery plugin that enables HTML5 placeholder support for legacy browsers
The HTML5 placeholder attribute is awesome, unfortunately only supported by some browsers. This
plugin replicates the placeholder behavior for unsupported browsers.
- Checks for placeholder support before running
- Tested in IE (6,7,8).
Works with password inputs
Usage

It's easy!:

$(':text[placeholder],:password[placeholder]').placeholder();

Enjoy.
