Christian Schwanke commented on STS-792:
----------------------------------------
I think this should definitly be included ASAP since this is one of the HTML5
features that can improve the user experience a lot while degrading without
problems in older browsers.
However, I want to suggest to broaden the scope of this ticket because there
are a lot more attributes and input types that should be supported e.g.
"autofocus" (see http://diveintohtml5.org/forms.html for more information).

> Key: STS-792
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-792
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tag Library
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5.5
> Reporter: Walter Rumsby
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: html5
> Attachments: stripes-input-placeholder-patch.txt,

> One of the new feature of HTML5 is the placeholder attribute for input
> fields. The placeholder text is displayed in the input field as a hint
> intended to aid user entry, e.g.
> <input type="text" name="search-text" placeholder="Enter terms here">
> will display "Enter terms here" if the element has no value in browsers that
> support the placeholder attribute. For browsers that don't support the
> attribute, it's possible to use JavaScript to display a placeholder, or a
> valid approach might be that providing no hint is a valid graceful
> degradation strategy for older browsers.
> My personal opinion is that there is very little risk using this new
> attribute (which seems to be the consensus among people advocating HTML5,
> i.e. there are parts of HTML5 that advocates generally recommend not using
> until the specification or design of the feature improves).
> While placeholder makes most obvious sense on input type="text", input
> type="password" and textarea elements the working draft suggests it is valid
> for all input elements and the textarea element (Chrome, for instance, will
> not do anything visually if you add a placeholder to a radio button).
> I've attached a patch that should provide support for this attribute when
> using Stripes' custom tags for input fields (e.g. <stripes:text/>, etc.).
