I want to use the nifty new "placeholder" attribute in HTML5, but few browsers support it. The following uses progressive enhancement to support the feature in a cross-browser way.

Requirements:

• jQuery, version ≥ 1.4
• jQuery-form-example plugin, version ≥ 1.4.2
• Modernizr, version ≥ 1.1

fake_html5_placeholders.js

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  if (!Modernizr.input.placeholder) {
    $('input[placeholder],textarea[placeholder]').each(function() {
      $(this).example($(this).attr('placeholder'))
    });
  }
});

placeholder.css

input.example, textarea.example {
  color: #909090;
}
