Hi all,
Trying to validate my site to Priority 3 and I'm getting this error in my
validation, due to my contact form
"10.4 Until user agents handle empty controls correctly, include default,
place-holding characters in edit boxes and text areas."
Are there any user agents that still have a problem with this? I have
descriptive labels associated with each form control and it seems a bit
pointless duplicating this inside the control.
I notice a lot of major sites don't bother, is this necessary?
Cheers
