Aside from the other problems, placeholder is a standard attribute. If it is problematic for a screen reader to read that attribute, wouldn't that be a problem with the screen reader, not the HTML page?
- mjhoy 14y agoExcept that placeholder != label, semantically. The spec says: The placeholder attribute should not be used as an alternative to a label. For a longer hint or other advisory text, the title attribute is more appropriate. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-input-element-attributes.html#the-placeholder-attribute http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/...
