Placeholder text for an input type=“number” does not show in webkit ICS

Question

I have the following input field

Placeholder is shown in normal

Answer 1

I had the same problem and my solution was setting the 'type' field as text. I think it happens because of the type property. Your placeholder text is not a number! If you have to force user to use only number format, you may use javascript plugins for this and i did it like that :)
