Input field hints invisible on IE

[jonasb]

The hints in input fields are not visible on IE. Should we perhaps have explicit labels outside the input fields? (Especially important on signin/signup but I guess also for most fields)

Could this perhaps be addressed by upgrading to a newer Bootstrap?

hmm, I guess we have a couple of options.
Use js to enable placeholders for legacy browsers (ie https://github.com/mathiasbynens/jquery-placeholder)
Don't use placeholders, use normal labels instead.
Use the value="" attribute.

any takers?
I think my vote goes to not use placeholders, use normal labels.

I can do labels.
