I'm in the final stages of a project! And now I'm doing the tests like performance tests and structuring errors! One of the errors found is placeholder of inputs and textarea. What can I use in place of the placeholder and which preferably not error at the time of validation?
Switch your document to HTML5 by simply changing the doctype at the beginning of the file to <!doctype html> .
<!doctype html>
<html>
<!-- head -->
<body>
<input type='text' name='foo' placeholder='foo'>
</body>
</html>If this is not possible in your project, you can then choose to use Javascript to create the same effect as the placeholder attribute:
<input type='text' value='foo'
onfocus="if (this.value === 'foo') {this.value = '';}"
onblur="if (this.value === '') {this.value = 'foo';}">The second option gives a bit more work, it is not simply checking if the value of the field is "foo" (which was just an example). In this case, using a plugin to do this might be the best solution, for example Placeholder.js .
