## Source excerpt

jQuery placeholder plugin/polyfill Written by Harry Roberts on CSS Wizardry. My good friend, ex-colleague and all round awesome dude Dan Bentley has made a great little jQuery placeholder plugin which polyfills older browsers that don't support the new HTML5 form attribute . Link: Now I'll readily admit that Dan has done 99% of the work here, but it has been something of a joint project in that: - I actually made him build it cos he's amazing at JS and I needed it.
