jQuery input placeholder text

The "jQuery input placeholder text" plugin works in two ways, depending on the user's browser type and version.

If the user's browser supports the new HTML 5 standard, and more precisely the HTML 5 placeholder attribute, the plugin deactivates itself and does nothing.

If the user has an older, deprecated browser, the plugin acts as a fallback (polyfill, shiv), mimicking the HTML 5 placeholder attribute and adding inline labels to various form field types.

The so-created placeholder text works exactly as the original HTML 5 placeholders, if JS is turned on (of course).

A simple demo is included with the "jQuery input placeholder text" package.

Requirements:

• JavaScript enabled on client side
• jQuery
