Placeholder for search box.

[DavidIQ]

Also, with "Search" it isn't too clear what the box does.

So maybe while we're at it a title attribute could be added to the search box with an explanation of what the box does.

That was supposed to say "without". Fixing now - I think it's clear enough when the placeholder is displayed.

3.1.0 already has a title attribute, 3.0.10 doesnt...

Code: Select all

<input type="text" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='Search…';" onclick="if(this.value=='Search…')this.value='';" value="Search…" class="inputbox search" title="Search for keywords" maxlength="128" id="keywords" name="keywords">

From a functional perspective this is an unnecessary neat UI addition, so I think all JS can be dropped entirely in favour of the new attribute. There's no need for a fallback here.

I'm preparing this change, and want to know: Is someone working on this?

This will be only added in Ascraeus, right?

Placeholder is an new attribute of HTML5 and only Ascraeus use this doctype, so... the answer is yes.
