how to set placeholder text for textarea

[dougc84]

in the textarea:

<textarea my="params" placeholder="The text that I want to show"></textarea>

this will work using HTML5 with no problem. there are numerous JS and JQuery plugins you can use if you're using an older doctype. This really isn't relevant to this plugin though.
