It seems it's a very well known problem but all the solutions I found on Google don't work on my newly downloaded IE9.
Which is your favorite way in order to enable the Placeholder property on the input and textarea tags?
Optional: I lost a lot of time on that and didn't look for the required property yet. Would you also have some advice for this? Obviously I can check the value in PHP, but to help the user this property is very convenient.

p.s
I have used this plugin many times and it works a treat. Also it doesn't submit the placeholder text as a value when you submit your form (... a real pain I found with other plugins).
