title: Internet Explorer 10 and 11 remove placeholder text when the input is focused
body: <p>When using Internet Explorer 10 and 11, input placeholder text is removed if the input is focused using the <code>autofocus</code> attribute. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="textbox" value="" placeholder="Example text" autofocus&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>How can I ensure the placeholder text isn't removed?</p>
