Change an input's HTML5 placeholder color with CSS
- by David Murdoch
Chrome supports the placeholder attribute on input[type=text] elements (others probably do too).
But the following CSS doesn't do diddly squat:
<style>
input[placeholder], [placeholder], *[placeholder]
{
color:red !important;
}
</style>
<input type="text" placeholder="Value" />
"Value" will still be grey…
