Today I came across a form using inline javascript events for placeholders:

<div class="inputBG" align="center"><input name="company" id="company" type="text" placeholder="Company Name" onBlur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Company Name';}" onFocus="if (this.value == 'Company Name') {this.value = '';}" /></div>

This is a no-no.
Instead, use this:
HTML

<input id="name" type="text" name="name" placeholder="placeholder name" />

 jQuery

// only necessary for browsers that don't support the placeholder attribute
$(document).ready(function(){
   $('input').each(function(i,v){
       // set initial values
       $(this).val($(this).attr('placeholder'));
              console.log($(this).val());
   });
});
  
$('input').on({
       'click': function(){ 
              if( $(this).val() == $(this).attr('placeholder')){ $(this).val(''); }
        },
       'blur': function(){
              if( $(this).val() == ''){ $(this).val($(this).attr('placeholder')); }
       }
});

And all is good and right in the world.
I'm assuming you have a basic understanding of document structure and how to implement jQuery.
If you have any questions, please ask.
