For browsers that support placeholder, the jquery.placeholder plugin does nothing but letting the native implemented behaviour do its thing (so that any native handling goes exactly the way the user expects it from their browser). Originally (like Opera still does) most browsers (including Chrome and Firefox) hid the placeholder on-focus, but now that it has been specified by W3 (which says to hide it when it becomes non-empty) most browsers have released updates that make their implementation follow the specification instead (Opera is a bit behind, it seems). The change you saw in your browser isn't from our side but from your browser. Having said that, we do implement a fallback for older browsers that didn't support placeholder yet. In our fallback we hide it on-focus (just like Chrome/Firefox used to do), so perhaps we should update our fallback as well :) I would re-purpose this bug for that, however since it would request implementation of what is basically the opposite of what this bug requests, I've filed a bug new bug instead (bug 40645). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
