Frans van Basten commented on STS-792:
--------------------------------------
Placeholder is a useful attribute. I realized it by using the additional
Stripes tag library which allows dynamic attributes:
{{<%@ taglib prefix="s-dyn"
uri="http://stripes.sourceforge.net/stripes-dynattr.tld"%>}}
Of course it would be nice that HTML5 will be supported in the standard Stripes
tag library. However, maybe Stripes should allow or disallow attributes based
on the HTML version you create in the JSP?
Who is the decision maker for this kind of issues? And is Stripes still
maintained? Is there a date for the next release?

> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tag Library
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5.5

> Priority: Minor
> Labels: html5

> 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.).
