Do not delete on focus but on start of typing

[goranefbl]

Great script, thank you for this.

Because of auto focus on start, its important for me not to delete placeholder before starting with typing. Is it possible to rewrite it to delete placeholder on type instead focus ?

Thanks again,

great script.

+1 to this.

Note that it's now the default behavior of Firefox & Chrome with the HTML5 placeholder attribute. I think this plugin should, if possible, have the same behavior as it's much more usable.

Agreed! I would also like it better if it worked that way.

Seconding this, since behaviour consistency should be a primary interest for a polyfill

No idea if this will get merged, but I think I have a pretty solid implementation in my preserve-on-focus branch. Hope this helps those of you who are looking for something similar.

Was anything similar to @mlms13 fork added to this library? Why was it closed and not merged?

[mlms13]

@gudmundurmar I don't think it was ever merged. When they changed the default branch from master to gh-pages all of the PRs against the master branch were automatically closed.

The PR was open for about a year, but it was kind of a lot of work to keep it up-to-date with master, so eventually I stopped maintaining my fork. The PR is here if anyone else wants to tackle it: #209
