Place holder in text area not applied in IE alone?

I am using the following code,

<textbox value="abc" placeholder="Eg:sample" rows="7"/>

CSS:
input:-ms-input-placeholder {
    color: blue;
}

While render in browser, the textbox renders as "textarea" and in Chrome,Firefox placeholder color sets fine. In IE(version9) alone, it renders font color instead of placeholder color.

Please anyone help with this.

Solution

  • Remember: Internet Explorer 9 is ancient. Internet Explorer 9 is buggy. Internet Explorer 9 has very low market share.

    The documentation shows that support for :-ms-input-placeholder was added in Internet Explorer 10.
