How can I specify a placeholder text

[KingOrmon]

Hi,

 

Sencha controls has a PlaceHolder property that allow me set a default text what a edit is empty.

 

How can I modify it ?

PlaceHolder and default text are different things. I checked uniedit in FireBug but couldn't find PlaceHolder property. Oh well, doesn't matter really, we have a good old DOM...

 

function OnAfterrender(sender)
{
 if ('placeholder' in sender.el.dom) sender.el.dom.placeholder = 'test';
}

Add to UniEdit's ClientEvents.ExtEvents

Thank you Zilav,

 

It works correctly under firefox, safari but not in IE.

 

maybe, is better use a background image for emule a search text field.

 

What is the correct way for do it ?

Placeholder property is an HTML5 thing, so you'll need some custom scripting to make it work in IE. For example placeholder.js

My advise - just forget IE. 1-2 years from now IE will be autoupdated almost everywhere (unless on XP) to support HTML5. Even if it is not working now, placeholder is not an essential feature you can't live without. It's nice, but not "a must".
