我喜欢将其打包到名称空间中，并在带有“占位符”属性的元素上运行……

$("[placeholder]").togglePlaceholder();

$.fn.togglePlaceholder = function() {
    return this.each(function() {
        $(this)
        .data("holder", $(this).attr("placeholder"))
        .focusin(function(){
            $(this).attr('placeholder','');
        })
        .focusout(function(){
            $(this).attr('placeholder',$(this).data('holder'));
        });
    });
};

你试过占位符attr吗?

<input id ="myID" type="text" placeholder="enter your text " />

我明白了，那就试试这个:

$(function () {

    $('#myId').data('holder', $('#myId').attr('placeholder'));

    $('#myId').focusin(function () {
        $(this).attr('placeholder', '');
    });
    $('#myId').focusout(function () {
        $(this).attr('placeholder', $(this).data('holder'));
    });


});

实际上，由于占位符应该用来描述值，而不是输入的名称。我建议以下替代方案

html:

<label class="overlabel"> 
    <span>First Name</span>
    <input name="first_name" type="text" />
</label>

javascript:

$('.overlabel').each(function () {
    var $this = $(this);
    var field = $this.find('[type=text], [type=file], [type=email], [type=password], textarea');
    var span = $(this).find('> span');
    var onBlur = function () {
        if ($.trim(field.val()) == '') {
            field.val('');
            span.fadeIn(100);
        } else {
            span.fadeTo(100, 0);
        }
    };
    field.focus(function () {
        span.fadeOut(100);
    }).blur(onBlur);
    onBlur();
});

css:

.overlabel {
  border: 0.1em solid;
  color: #aaa;
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: middle;
  min-height: 2.2em;
}
.overlabel span {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
.overlabel span, .overlabel input {
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 1em;
  line-height: 2em;
  padding: 0 0.5em;
  margin: 0;
  background: transparent;
  -webkit-appearance: none; /* prevent ios styling */
  border-width: 0;
  width: 100%;
  outline: 0;
}

我喜欢css的过渡方法。在Focus上，占位符淡出;)也适用于文本区域。

谢谢凯西·朱的好主意。

textarea::-webkit-input-placeholder, input::-webkit-input-placeholder { 
    color: #fff;
    opacity: 0.4;
    transition: opacity 0.5s;
    -webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s; 
}

textarea:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder, input:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder  { 
    opacity: 0;
}

输入

input:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder { color:transparent; }
input:focus:-moz-placeholder { color:transparent; }

对于文本区域

textarea:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder { color:transparent; }
textarea:focus:-moz-placeholder { color:transparent; }

<input 
type="text" 
placeholder="enter your text" 
onfocus="this.placeholder = ''"
onblur="this.placeholder = 'enter your text'" />

HTML:

<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="enter your text" id="myInput" />

jQuery:

$('#myInput').focus(function(){
  $(this).attr('placeholder','');
});
$('#myInput').focusout(function(){
  $(this).attr('placeholder','enter your text');
});
