Using the plugin with IE9, if the input text has focus the placeholder is not visualized.

@bitliner The placeholder disappearing on focus is the expected behavior. It matches the way most browsers worked until about a year ago, and is a little simpler to implement.

I've thought about adding an option to "show placeholder while focused". It would take some work though, and I have no current plans to do it. I'd be happy to offer assistance if anyone else wants to give it a shot.

I think from a UX point of view showing the placeholder even if the input is focused is much better (think about the situation when an input has focus as default, you never see that placeholder, you never know what the app expects to be typed in that input).

Now chrome and other browsers have this behaviour.

As soon as I have time I will have a look to integrate this feature.
