Watermark for Textbox in MVC3

Question

How do I set watermark for a texbox in MVC3 .Also if there are multiple textboxes in a web page, how do you write different watermark text for each textbox?

Answer 1

If I understand your question, you can just pass in:

new { placeholder = "my watermark" }

as the htmlAttributes parameter in Html.TextBoxFor.

Edit:

You can also add support for older browsers by using Javascript as outlined here:
