HTML5 Placeholder jQuery Plugin is a jQuery plugin that enables HTML5 placeholder behavior for browsers that aren’t trying hard enough yet. You’ll still be able to use jQuery.val() to get and set the input values. If the element is currently showing a placeholder, .val() will return an empty string instead of the placeholder text, just like it does in browsers with a native @placeholder implementation. Calling .val('') to set an element’s value to the empty string will result in the placeholder text (re)appearing. The plugin automatically adds class="placeholder" to the elements that are currently showing their placeholder text. You can use this to style placeholder text differently.
