fail to change placeholder color with Bootstrap 3

Question

Two questions:

1. I am trying to make the placeholder text white. But it doesn\'t work. I am using Bootstrap 3. JSFiddle demo

2. Another question is h

Answer 1

With LESS the actual mixin is in vendor-prefixes.less

.placeholder(@color: @input-color-placeholder) {
...
}

This mixin is called in forms.less on line 133:

.placeholder();

Your solution in LESS is:

.placeholder(#fff);

Imho the best way to go. Just use Winless or a composer compiler like Gulp/Grunt works, too and even better/faster.
