Description

It would be very useful (e.g. to save a lot of precious space) to have a feature similar to Qt QLineEdit:

[[[http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qlineedit.html#placeholderText-prop]]]

With the same behavior (gray, so the user sees that it isn't real text), vanishing if the user has focus to this field.

I think we call it setEmptyText(), as demonstrated in the second line edit here: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/widgets/forms/line_text-editor

Hi,

today I searched also for exact this feature and I think you should change or at least add a setPlaceholder() method! And it seems that I'm not the only one having problems to find the setEmptyText() method!

In HTML5 its called placeholder so why should introduce a new not so intuitive method name setEmptyText()?

Regards,

Stefan

Hey Stefan,

setPlaceholderText is indeed a better name, consider it done.
