Placeholder in <h:inputText with JSF 1.x

Question

Good morning,

I’m with a system developed with version 1.2 of JSF and Richfaces 3.3

I’ve been researching about including a placeholder in the element <h:inputText jsf but only found tutorials for jsf version 2 or primefaces. I also found a way to do it with Richfaces, but only version 4 onwards. I found nothing that could help me.

Does anyone know a way to include a placeholder in the tag <h:inputText ? as in normal HTML:

<input value="item" placeholder="seach"/>

Answer 1

You can try the following:

<h:inputText value="item" placeholder="search" id="search"/>
<p:watermark for="search" value="Meu placeholder" />

Remember to add the attribute id="nome" in your inputText, and in the other tag, you put the attribute for referencing this id, like the example above.
