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 watermark
This plugin allows you to create a text that's only displayed when there no text on the textbox and disappears when you focus on it.
This watermark is a little bit different from others I've seen, that's why I'm posting it here. I created this plugin because I faced the problem of creating a watermark for a password field. Obviously (or not), all the watermarks that I tried added the watermark text to the field itself, so the text was dotted! Just like a password field should be... Well, that's why this plugin is different, you can use it even in password fields.
An array with options specifying two properties can be passed to the function. The two properties are the watermarkText and watermarCssClass.
Then you just call the function like this:
$('.someSelector').watermark({watermarkText: 'Heey', watermarkCssClass: 'someCSS'})
