Placeholder for TCEForm fields text/input
100%
Description
We need the possibility to display a placeholder/ghosttext in TCEForm fields to guide the user about default values. The Placeholder will disappear as soon as the user enters a value.
The Placeholder should be configurable by TCA config.
Allowed syntax:
"Foobar"=> will display "Foobar" as placeholder"LLL:EXT:foobar/Resources/Private/Languages/locallang.xml"=> support "LLL:" syntax"__row|fieldName"=> will display the value of /fieldName/ as placeholder"__row|relationField|fieldName"=> If "relationField" is configured as group/db, display the value of "fieldName" of the foreign record as placeholder.

as we are using html5 in backend, why not use the placeholder attribute anyway?

Currently the placeholder-attribute is only supported by the latest Webkit (Safari Nightly) and Chrome. This is why i implemented the JS-part to emulate the behavior.
BTW: Thanks for your review. I'll take care about your comments soon.

it works also in current firefox and normal safari 5.0.5
IMO it is absolutly fine to use this and not the additional JS + overhead
