failed to display the placeholder, it's empty

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- any version greater than r1188
- "5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like

# Solve

http://code.google.com/p/closure-library/source/browse/trunk/closure/goog/ui/lab
elinput.js?spec=svn1188&r=1188#127

the line 

this.getElement().placeholder = this.label_;

should change to

this.getElement().setAttribute('placeholder', this.label_)

I tried directly setting the placeholder in Chrome 19 beta, and it worked.

Is the property renamed by the compiler? If it is, please file a but at the 
closure-compiler project to update the html5 externs. Thanks for the 
investigation.
