title: HTML: HTML5 Placeholder attribute in password field issue- shows normal text?
body: <p>I am making a Login form, in which there are two fields- </p>
  
  <p>simplified:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="text"&gt;
  &lt;input type="password" placeholder="1234567" &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strike>In my tests (FF, Chrome) the placeholer shows grey text.
  How can I have the placeholder text in password 'dots' ?</strike>
  And have placeholder support in IE?</p>
  
  <p><strike>eg. the user sees a fake grey password, not the text 1233467.</strike></p>
  
  <p>(I have jquery available)</p>
  
  <p>Thankyou very much,</p>
  
  <p>Harley</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT: Looks like this is the wrong way to use placeholder. However, how can I get IE support? Thanks</strong></p>
