@VicGUTT, to me “placeholder” suggests something that appears (visually or conceptually) in place of something else which is absent, pending, or inapplicable. I don’t know for sure if most other folks also expect the word to refer to this, but existing APIs seem to: in OffscreenCanvas (placeholder canvases), HTML form control elements (placeholder content attributes), and in CSS’s pseudos corresponding to the last (`:placeholder-shown`, `::placeholder`), a “placeholder” is something that can “hold the place” of something else that would otherwise be empty in the sense of replacing or occupying it; it is not the place itself. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/902#issuecomment-1193177384 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
