Watermark widget

Watermark widget


Hi,
I've created a new wiki page for a watermark widget:
https://jqueryui.pbwiki.com/Watermark
So far I've added a detailed description and a study of the available plugins.
As I've wrote there:
Due to the functionality of the plugin being rather trivial, there is
a long list of available plugins: [...] A jQuery UI watermark
component should be able to replace all these, making the choice of
implementation way easier then it is now. In addition to covering the
various edge-cases like password fields, the widget should be designed
with respect to accessibility, which most existing plugins likely
don't cover.
Thing is, implementing this really easy: A lot of reference
implementations already available, no theming necessary. The primary
reason to move this to UI would be the authority that this
implementation would get; and of course the knowledge and resources to
design a progressive-enhanced and accessable solution.
Once 1.7 is done, at least from the design point-of-view, I hope we
can give the planning some attention, to get an idea how reasonable
this is.
