Does this support :placeholder-shown?

[Cory Simmons]

It'd be awfully sweet if it did. :O

[Dirk Ginader]

Hey Cory,
thanks for the great suggestion!
I agree it would indeed be rather sweet!
It is, however, sadly impossible to polyfill the exact :syntax.
What I can and will do is to apply a class .placeholder-shown instead.
I'll implement this ASAP.
Wouldn't that be awefully sweet as well?

I suppose.

How does Selectivizr and stuff work if we can't polyfill pseudos?

[Dirk Ginader]

What Selectivizr is doing is to read all the linked stylesheets and
duplicate the rules that apply to the pseudo selectors and then rewrite the
CSS. This works only with CSS linked from the same domain (so it would fail
from CDNs). While this "somewhat works" it's rather flaky (check the last
paragraph on http://selectivizr.com/ ).
I prefer this to be robust.

I think .placeholder-shown can work. Re-implementing a selector engine just for this seems like overkill. So syntax would work like:

input {
  &.placeholder-shown,
  &:placeholder-shown {
    background: orange;
  }
}

?

[Dirk Ginader]

Exactly! I think this would be very elegant :-)

See the new readme section here to see how to use it: https://github.com/ginader/HTML5-placeholder-polyfill#customizing-the-styling-optional

Awesome. Will be featuring your lib on TutsPlus this upcoming week. Thanks. =)

[Dirk Ginader]

Woohoo! thanks @corysimmons :-)

[Cory Simmons]

No problem. Thanks for being an active/good maintainer. 👍 💯
