Filed names not showing on IE

[blackmlm]

I noticed placeholders not working on IE8.

The best way to deal with it in a seamless manner is to use a tool like Modernizr to detect whether the browser has support for the placeholder feature, and run a JS polyfill script if it isn't supported.

if(!Modernizr.input.placeholder) {
//insert placeholder polyfill script here.
}

There are numerous placeholder polyfill scripts out there to download. Pick one which makes use of the placeholder attribute so that you only need to define the placeholder string in one place for all browsers. Here's one you could try: http://www.hagenburger.net/BLOG/HTML5-Input-Placeholder-Fix-With-jQuery.html

Hope that helps.
