797400 - [socorro-crashstats] let's use a placeholder attribute instead

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

The little search input is using a default value as the placeholder text:

 <input type="text" id="q" name="query" value="Find Crash ID or Signature">

Joint with this awful script in nav.js:

    $("#q").focus(function () {
        $(this).attr('value', '');
    });

...which means that if you type something, then blur then focus back to change what you typed you lose what you already typed :)

I know this is not urgent but I had my finger on the trigger and I was eager to see how the -moz-placeholder thing worked.
