Placeholder Password Box Support

[jacobbolton]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for this plug-in. It's working great providing IE support for placeholders. I have tested. The ability to add password support was a requirement for one of our projects, so I went ahead and added this support. Feel free to review the code. It basically creates a "fake" text input until a user actually gives it focus, then switches it out with the real password field. I'm open to suggestions or concerns.

Thanks again for your hard work on this!

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for this, and sorry for not getting time to look at it sooner.

I think your code looks good and it seems to work well.

However, @snikch also has a pull request open, and he has taken a slightly different approach. Instead of creating a fake field, he simply changes the type of the textfield from password to text, changing it back as required (see #11).

What do you think of that approach? It seems simpler to me, but I might be missing something.
