I would appreciate it if any of you could educate me a bit on pros/cons of using watermarks or placeholder text in form text fields.
What do screen reader users experience when encountering this text?
Are any problems encountered in making sure all the placeholder text has been removed before submission?
Do they present aural clutter, or useless noise?
Thank you,
