--- Comment #8 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2012-10-01 02:34:32 UTC --- Okay, simple version: * There is an international organisation that creates standards for the internet (e.g. they decide that <b> should turn text into bold, and that clicking a text field should focus it for typing text etc.). This organisation is called W3C. * W3C has decided that a placeholder should be visible whenever the value of the text input is empty. That means when clicking on it to put the cursor inside, until text is entered, the placeholder will remain visible. This will make it possible (for example) to read the placeholder text even if the search field is auto-focussed. * Until recently Firefox and Chrome had their own version, they have now updated their code to match the W3C guidelines. This means that we now see the placeholder when the field is active without text in it. If you don't like that, please complain to Firefox or W3C and explain why. This is not something we can or should fix. It is not in our control.
