Answer 1

The placeholder attribute is not supported in earlier versions of IE, so for the Display[(Promt="...")] to work fine I recommend to use (along with the String template as Samack described) any jQuery watermark plugin (I used the google one) then add this to the Document.Ready function:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(':text').watermark({ textAttr: 'placeholder' });
})
