When degrading, goog.ui.LabelInput shouldn't remove placeholder text when focused and empty #412

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The HTML5 spec for the placeholder attribute [1] was recently updated [2] so 
that when an input is focused and empty, the placeholder *should* be shown. 
This has been fixed in Chrome [3][4], but not Firefox yet [5]. Apparently IE10 
does this correctly [6].

Currently when degrading for browsers that do not support the placeholder 
attribute, goog.ui.LabelInput removes the placeholder text when focused and 
empty [7], so this should be fixed.
