SmartPlaceholder.js : jQuery Smart Input Placeholder Plugin

#Welcome to SmartPlaceholder.js SmartPlaceholder is a free & open-source jQuery plugin which converts your normal html input tags into advanced user-friendly elements. This plugin works with zero modification to the markup, we know its already messed up! :P

We are in the era of placeholder attributes, we don't use labels to represent each input tag elements like we used to. But there are some limitations with the placeholder, major one is that it hides itself when the user starts typing. That's where SmartPlaceholder.js can take act in.
