html placeholder attribute in Firefox and IE for both text and password input

Question

I found that does not work in IE and FF. I found some Javascript work arounds but the place holder text on the password would be stared out. I know this works the way it should in Chrome and i think Safari since they are both Webkit. Anyone have any idea or know of a working fix for IE and FF?

Answer 1

Your only workaround would be placing a label on top of the text/password box and hiding it/showing the actual box when it's getting focus. For example, look at this jQuery plugin that will do exactly what you want.

Answer 2
