Placeholder text in IE9

Classic Servoy
1

Hey guys, I’ve run into an issue with the placeholder attribute on text fields. If I have a typeahead field with a valuelist attached, and a text field just below it with any placeholder text, the placeholder text appears on top the the valuelist.

This is before clicking in the typeahead field:
[attachment=2]s1.png[/attachment]

This is after clicking in the typeahead field:
[attachment=1]s2.png[/attachment]

And this is hovering over Value Two in the valuelist (placeholder appears to be blocking me from choosing that value):
[attachment=0]s3.png[/attachment]

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

That’s a nice one.
If I’m correct IE9 doesn’t support placeholder text by default, so I think Servoy tricked this one.
The placeholder probably has a high z-index, which - as you notice - placeholder being on top.

Best is to file an issue in JIRA (support.servoy.com)
In the meantime you could give it a try solving this with webclient-utils plugin.

Hope this helps

Created one. I’ll try to see what I can do in the meantime.
