Question

I want to set a default message like ‘add your comment’ to a text input using the html5 placeholder attribute. Somebody know how to do that in Symfony 1.4?

Answer 1

You can add any html attributes to a widget in the second parameter:

$this->form->setWidgets(array(
  'name' => new sfWidgetFormInput(
    array('label'       => 'Your Name'), 
    array('placeholder' => 'Add your comment')
  ),
));
