Fork of Drupal Form Placeholder Module for Backdrop CMS: (http://drupal.org/project/form_placeholder).
Support for older browsers has been left off this version, as the Placeholder attribute is now widely supported.
- Install Form Placeholder (form_placeholder) module as usual.
- Go to configuration page at "admin/config/user-interface/form-placeholder".
- Specify CSS selectors for textfields you want to add a placeholder.
To add placeholders for the Login, Register, Password & Password reset forms copy and paste this text into the "Visibility" settings box:
#user-login #edit-name #user-login #edit-pass #user-register-form #edit-name #user-register-form #edit-mail #user-pass #edit-name #user-pass-reset-form #edit-pass-pass1 #user-pass-reset-form #edit-pass-pass2
