I've started simply adding a single space character as default text, and making sure I strip any possible leading/trailing spaces from the form inputs server-side. I loathe those long-winded placeholders (e.g. "your email address here"), as, when filling the form in, one has to first clear the input box. Sure, most sites that have these long-winded default texts usually also have onfocus/onblur javascript events to clear the box and/or restore it to the original default text, but...that won't do me any good in lynx ;-) So, is there any views on adding a single space as default ?
