Fix issue #109

[mrhmouse]

These changes should prevent the placeholder text from becoming the input's value in older versions of Internet Explorer.

Thanks for this, it works! I was going crazy trying to debug this stuff.

Please merge!

This causes the passwords to display in plain-text!

[mrhmouse]

Can you provide a JSBin or JSFiddle to demonstrate this? That will obviously need to be fixed before merging this!

Edit: Here's a JSBin that creates a password input and calls placeholder on it. I don't see the behavior you're referring to in IE6, but I haven't tried IE7-9.

Edit edit: D'oh, ignore that. I've pulled in the wrong version of the plugin.

[mrhmouse]

Good catch @bkvirendra! I'll have this fixed shortly.

Doubt this will get merged as-is given it has a lot of completely unnecessary coding style changes... not to mention whitespace changes (see files vs. files?w=1).

[JamesMGreene]

PR #150 seems like a much simpler fix w/o all the unnecessary changes...?

[mrhmouse]

Aye, it's a bad habit of mine to reformat code as I go (unless there's already a clear and readable style), and to do things like remove unnecessary variables, etc etc.

I agree that it does make the intent of my pull request much harder to read.

PR has too many changes. Difficult to see what has changed. I will be closing this. Feel free do a new PR but only make changes that are necessary to fix a bug. Thanks.
