html:
<div class="div-input">
<input type="text" id="loginname" name="username" value="" maxlength="25"
class="form-input" placeholder="Username"
/>
</div>
<div class="div-input">
<input type="password" id="loginpassword" name="password" maxlength="25"
class="form-input" placeholder="Password"
/>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="LOGIN" class="form-button"
onclick="return check_login("/")"
/>
<span id="logInfo"></span><span style="display: none;" id="overlay"></span>
<span style="display: none;" id="popup">
<img src="/public/images/loading.gif" />
</span>
</div>
My problem is that the placeholder is working fine in all browsers, for IE8 and IE9 I used Javascript to solve it, but in IE10 the placeholder is working, but not in a correct manner.
What happens is that on page load, if Placeholder
is the placeholder, I get only Placeholde
as placeholder in IE10 (last letter disappears), but if I click in the input box and outside the page it shows the correct placeholder as Placeholder
.
If I type any word in the input field I am getting a cross symbol (close symbol) at the corner in the input field which is happening only in IE10.
i am not sure about placeHolder attribute for input support in ie10,but if u want a placeholder in ie u can do this throug jquery like this below..
if(navigator.appVersion.match(/MSIE [\d.]+/)){
var placeholderText = 'Some Placeholder Text';
$('#loginname').val(placeholderText);
$('#loginname').blur(function(){
$(this).val() == '' ? $(this).val(placeholderText) : false;
});
$('#loginname').focus(function(){
$(this).val() == placeholderText ? $(this).val('') : false;
});
}
u can do same for password too..
Have U tried somewhat like this using code...i believe should work...
$('#loginname').attr('placeholder', 'username');
$('#password').attr('placeholder', 'password');
It sounds like your javascript is breaking the native IE10 placeholder functionality.
To test this, and hopefully fix it, wrap the javascript you have written for placeholders in a conditional statement, so that it only applies to IE9 and below.
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script>
document.createElement('header');
document.createElement('nav');
</script>
<![endif]-->
Alternatively, there is a very nice jquery plugin by Mathias Bynens that is available for free and handles all of this for you: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/jquery-placeholder
Some CMSs already have a plugin built using this code. The Wordpress plugin is here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/html5-placeholder-polyfill/
Try this, is jquery pluin for placeholder in browser that don't support perfectly it. Leaving your php code and adding this js it should work:
(function($) {
/**
* Spoofs placeholders in browsers that don't support them (eg Firefox 3)
*
* Copyright 2011 Dan Bentley
* Licensed under the Apache License 2.0
*
* Author: Dan Bentley [github.com/danbentley]
*/
// Return if native support is available.
if ("placeholder" in document.createElement("input")) return;
$(document).ready(function(){
$(':input[placeholder]').not(':password').each(function() {
setupPlaceholder($(this));
});
$(':password[placeholder]').each(function() {
setupPasswords($(this));
});
$('form').submit(function(e) {
clearPlaceholdersBeforeSubmit($(this));
});
});
function setupPlaceholder(input) {
var placeholderText = input.attr('placeholder');
setPlaceholderOrFlagChanged(input, placeholderText);
input.focus(function(e) {
if (input.data('changed') === true) return;
if (input.val() === placeholderText) input.val('');
}).blur(function(e) {
if (input.val() === '') input.val(placeholderText);
}).change(function(e) {
input.data('changed', input.val() !== '');
});
}
function setPlaceholderOrFlagChanged(input, text) {
(input.val() === '') ? input.val(text) : input.data('changed', true);
}
function setupPasswords(input) {
var passwordPlaceholder = createPasswordPlaceholder(input);
input.after(passwordPlaceholder);
(input.val() === '') ? input.hide() : passwordPlaceholder.hide();
$(input).blur(function(e) {
if (input.val() !== '') return;
input.hide();
passwordPlaceholder.show();
});
$(passwordPlaceholder).focus(function(e) {
input.show().focus();
passwordPlaceholder.hide();
});
}
function createPasswordPlaceholder(input) {
return $('<input>').attr({
placeholder: input.attr('placeholder'),
value: input.attr('placeholder'),
id: input.attr('id'),
readonly: true
}).addClass(input.attr('class'));
}
function clearPlaceholdersBeforeSubmit(form) {
form.find(':input[placeholder]').each(function() {
if ($(this).data('changed') === true) return;
if ($(this).val() === $(this).attr('placeholder')) $(this).val('');
});
}
})(jQuery);
Then you have to invoke the plugin in your php page or in another js simply by:
$(function() {
// Invoke the plugin
$('input, textarea').placeholder();
});
Hope this helps!
