Here is an input with a placeholder attribute:
And here is the code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | $(document).ready(function(){ $('[placeholder]').focus(function() { var input = $(this); if (input.val() == input.attr('placeholder')) { input.val(''); input.removeClass('placeholder'); } }).blur(function() { var input = $(this); if (input.val() == '' || input.val() == input.attr('placeholder')) { input.addClass('placeholder'); input.val(input.attr('placeholder')); } }).blur(); $('[placeholder]').parents('form').submit(function() { $(this).find('[placeholder]').each(function() { var input = $(this); if (input.val() == input.attr('placeholder')) { input.val(''); } }) }); }); |
