The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
Input Placeholder
This plugin extends the jQuery() class with .placehold() method, which is effective for text inputs and treats the default value those inputs have in HTML markup as a placehold value.
When user focuses an input field, its placehold value has to be cleared out, but it returns back, if user leaves the field having put nothing in there. Additionally, my method can add a specified class to active and inactive fields separately, enabling you to style and access placeholded and active inputs.
Please, remember to validate the form on submit, additionally checking fields for containing a placeholder, because placeholder strings are obviously treated as normal input values by UAs. If a user submits such form, it might even appear valid on the server side, filling your DB with bogus data
