Answer 1

You could use the Attributes collection. So you would have something like

txtSearchTerm.Attributes.Add("placeholder", "Search" + Site.Name);

or

txtSearchTerm.Attributes["placeholder"] = "Search" + Site.Name; // or Attributes("placeholder") if you're using vb.net

And if you're using resources for localization/translation:

txtSearchTerm.Attributes["placeholder"] = GetLocalResourceObject("YourLocalResourceName").ToString();
