I'm trying to do the same... here i wrote this

if(!('placeholder'in document.createElement("input"))){
   //... document.getElementById("element"). <-- rest of the code
}}

With this you should have an id to identify the element with the placeholder... I don't know thought if this also help you to identify the element ONLY when the placeholder isn't supported.
