HTML5 introduces a new placeholder attribute for input elements. Often it is useful to preset text input fields with certain values, to give an indication on which data format is expected for the input, or sometimes maybe you just don’t want to use a <label> tag for layout or design reasons. On input focus, the preset value will disappear to allow users to enter their value without having to select and delete the placeholder first.
