The plugin doesn t look very robust  If you call  placeholder   again  it creates a new Placeholder instance while events are still bound to the old one   Looking at the code  it looks like you could do       serMemtb   attr  placeholder    Type a name  Lastname  Firstname    blur        EDIT   placeholder is an HTML5 attribute  guess who s not supporting it   Your plugin doesn t really seem to help you overcome the fact that IE doesn t support it  so while my solution works  your plugin doesn t  Why don t you find one that does
