# .placeholder()

A basic jQuery (>= 1.7) plugin that reads the [**"placeholder"** attribute](http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/HTML5_form_additions#placeholder) (HTML5) and renders the placeholder text as an overlay (if not natively supported). Unlike most other plugins, this works by adding a properly-positioned `` on top of the input element rather than setting its value. This keeps form serialization & validation from breaking. 

```javascript

$('input[placeholder], textarea[placeholder]').placeholder();

```
