It also results in ugly rendering issues with browsers that save previously submitted form data, overlaying it on top of the placeholder text or replacing it even if it's the wrong data for that field type.
- ricardobeat 13y agoplaceholder is a native attribute. If you are doing it via javascript for older browsers, your code should handle that case.
- dasil003 13y agoYou're misunderstanding the issue. The issue is that the placeholder text disappears once you start typing into it. The usability assumption is that once you start typing in a value you no longer need the placeholder, but that is a bad assumption, particularly if a mistake is made as the gp is alluding to.
