There a lot of issues concerning placeholder and IE8 or IE9. But i haven't or maybe haven't look too much for the answer for my placeholder problem. I was able to use placeholder but the problem is when I use IE8 browser, the text use as placeholder will become the searched word if I will not type anything on the search box. The placeholder is working though like when i click the search box, the text will disappear. Only during searching is my problem. It treats the placeholder text as the searched word. By the way, i just want to use pure javascript if possible.

Does any have work around for this issue?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

  • Is this problem specific to IE 8/9? Have you tried it in other browsers? –  Jan 10 '14 at 09:17
  • If i'm correct, html5 placeholder not officialy supported by ie8. Check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15020826/how-to-support-placeholder-tag-in-ie8-and-9 – Nikolay Talanov Jan 10 '14 at 09:17
