This solution uses jQuery  If you want to use same placeholder text for all text inputs  you can use     input text   attr  placeholder   Some New Text      And if you want different placeholders  you can use the element s id to change placeholder      element1 id   attr  placeholder   Some New Text 1        element2 id   attr  placeholder   Some New Text 2
