For some reason placeholder text does not work on IE9 much less earlier browsers. Not supporting the latest version of the most popular browser really hurts my ability (and I am sure others) to adopt this framework for any serious application. The reason for placeholder text is to save screen space and/or offer formatting help, etc. I personally really need a solution which is cross browser and I really love this framework minus the support for the latest version of IE.
