HTML5 Support
The aim of HTML5 is to seamlessly provide support an extremely lightweight plugin for a few commonly used html5 attributes for browsers that don't already support them.
HTML5 Support currently supports the placeholder attribute and the autofocus attribute. HTML5 Also supports type=“password” fields, by special casing them, and swapping elements.
Example
HTML
jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
$.html5support();
// or you can also run only support for what you want
$.placeholder();
// - or -
$.autofocus();
});
CSS
Use this CSS if you would like your placeholder text to show up grey in browsers that do not natively support placeholder.
.placeholder{ color: #888; }
TODO
Support could be added for more HTML5 features. Ideas:
