title: How to insert placeholder text in text_area_tag in rails?
body: <p>I'm using the following code to generate a <code>textarea</code> tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= text_area_tag :comment, '', autocomplete: "off", class: "form-control", placeholder: "Your Comment" %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When rendered, it produces the following HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;textarea name="comment" id="comment" autocomplete="off" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Comment"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know that if there is some text between <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/textarea&gt;</code>, the  <code>placeholder</code> won't show up, but in my case, there is nothing in-between, as it is clear from rendered HTML. So how can I put a <code>placeholder</code>  text for <code>textarea</code>?</p>
