Text field placeholders #192

Closed olivercrask closed 6 years ago

Ability to start up a scriptedform with text boxes pre-filled with greyed out text. Once text is entered in to the text box, the greyed out text disappears. Similar to HTML5 text placeholders.

Yup, this should be easy I think. I'll set this for next release also.

@OxygenLithium if you could give the dev install a go and let me know your mileage: https://github.com/SimonBiggs/scriptedforms#advanced-users-only-installing-scriptedforms-from-the-github-source

Usage is:

<variable-string name="this is the title" placeholder="this is the placeholder">
  your_variable_name
</variable-string>

On a similar topic given that the 'name' parameter is actually a 'label' I am considering changing 'name' to 'label'. Of course both name and label would work for a few 0.*.0 versions with a deprecation notice printing whenever the 'name' parameter is used.

Do you have any thoughts regarding that?

I'll have a look at the dev version tomorrow :) I think label makes much more sense and name should be phased out as you suggested
