I can use jquery to change html input tag's placeholder for no problem, but no
matter what method I use, impossible for me to change
s:textfield's placeholder.
I tried
$('#partid').attr('placeholder','XXX');
and
$('#partid').val('XXX');
and
$('#partid').text('XXX');
s:textfield's placeholder impossible for jquery to change, is struts2 limition
or bugs?
thanks in advance
john
