I'd love to compare notes.</p> <p>FWIW, here's what I did:</p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/dido/n7wZ7/">jsfiddle demo here</a>.</p> <p><strong>Add input placeholders to the jQuery support object:</strong></p> <pre><code>$.support.placeholder = (function() { var i = document.createElement( 'input' ); return 'placeholder' in i; })(); </code></pre> <p><strong>The placeholder chain:</strong></p> <pre><code>$('input') .addClass('hint') .val( function() { if ( !$.support.placeholder ) { return $(this).attr('placeholder'); } }) .bind({ focus: function() { var $this = $(this); $this.removeClass('hint'); if ( $this.val() === $this.attr('placeholder') ) { $this.val(''); } }, blur: function() { var $this = $(this), // Trim whitespace if only space characters are entered, // which breaks the placeholders. val = $.trim( $this.val() ), ph = $this.attr('placeholder'); if ( val === ph || val === '' ) { $this.addClass('hint').val(''); if ( !$.support.placeholder ) { $this.val(ph); } } } }); </code></pre> <p><strong>Add a new validation rule</strong></p> <p><a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Validator/addMethod">addMethod docs</a></p> <pre><code>$.validator.addMethod('notPlaceholder', function(val, el) { return this.optional(el) || ( val !== $(el).attr('placeholder') ); }, $.validator.messages.required); </code></pre> <p><strong>Include the new method in the validate rules object</strong></p> <pre><code>$('form').validate({ rules: { name: { required: true, notPlaceholder: true }, email: { required: true, notPlaceholder: true, email: true } } }); </code></pre>
