[edwiacur]

Hello,
I´m working with smartgwt power version 3.1d and i want to know how can i add the propertie "placeholder" to a TextItem.

im just creating a dynamicform with textItems and need to add the propertie to the html generated with smartgwt to his items.

Thanks

Hint+showHintInField has equivalent behavior (and the HTML placeholder attribute isn't universally supported).

It would be great to get this property in SC too. 2 years since the initial request and most of the common browser should support it today.

Hint + showHintInField is not the same. If the input field becomes the focus you don't see the hint message anymore.

Since 10.0, showHintInField is implemented via the HTML5 placeholder attribute in browsers where it works, so the hint remains in the field until you actually start typing.
