Augments and polyfills the html5 placeholder attribute.
When you focus a field it keeps the placeholder text until you start typing. This keeps users from forgetting what the field is before they start typing.
Usage:
- include js
- add placeholder attribute to fields you want
- invoke plugin with
window.initPlaceholder()

Note: I've not updated this in a while so I'm not sure if browser support is up to 2013 standards. Feel free to contribute.
