I've been using the HTML5 input controls on my site (html5:UrlInput for
example) and the values I put in 'PlaceHolderText' only show on the mobile
devices I test with (iPhone, iPad, Xoom) however in my IE9 browser they do not
show. Is this a bug or is their another way to get this to show without losing
its ability to bring up different keyboards on the mobile devices? Thanks.

IE9 doesn't currently support the full HTML5 specification and particularly,
not PlaceHolders. This may work around it, but I haven't done much with jQuery,
so haven't tested for myself.
