support all browsers except internet explorer

Question

This is a simple code to display search on textbox. but it does not works on internet explorer. why?

<div id="rightsearch_div1">
   <input id="text_box" placeholder="search..." type="text"  />
</div>

The `placeholder` attribute was not implemented until IE 10. — Tim M., Mar 08 '13 at 06:16

It works in IE10.

Things don't work in browsers that didn't implement it when they were released.

It should work in the latest IE. I like using this site to check cross-browser compatibility on these things: http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-placeholder
