The value content attribute gives the default value of the input element. – http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#attr-input-value To set the default value of an input element, use the value attribute. <input type=”text” value=”default value”>

Just apply the style to these CSS rules: ::-webkit-input-placeholder { font-style: italic; } :-moz-placeholder { font-style: italic; } ::-moz-placeholder { font-style: italic; } :-ms-input-placeholder { font-style: italic; } Probably not all of these rules are needed.

You forget a :. Because of that, the whole selector got corrupted and didn’t work. http://jsfiddle.net/a96f6/87/ Edit: Seems like (after an update?) this doesn’t work anymore, try this: input::-webkit-input-placeholder{ color:red; } input:-moz-placeholder { color:red; } Note: don’t mix the vendor prefix selectors (-moz, -webkit, -ms, …). Chrome for example won’t understand “-moz-” and then ignores … Read more
