What do you all use to support placeholder attributes in browsers?

There are quite a few polyfill scripts for the placeholder attribute. Here's one that seems to work well.

Just remember to call $('input, textarea').placeholder(); in your JS code, and possibly add a CSS rule, eg. .placeholder { color: #aaa }.
