You need to style "placeheld" inputs yourself. A good default is:

.placeheld {
  color: #A0A0A0;
  font-style: italic;
}

autofocus

<input autofocus>

Automatically focuses the element when minform() is called on it. Note that only the first autofocus input is focused.

<input required>

Will block form submission and focus the required element if it has not been filled in.
