Search placeholder in various browsers

Germont

hello!

If you try a search on this forum, the search keywords are displayed only in Chrome. But Firefox and IE11, not.
I used this article to optimise search box for WordPress in diferrent browsers. Maybe you could use it also for Vanilla?

Not sure what you mean by optimise. This unrelated to performance.

placeholder attribute works in most modern browsers , what is is non-standard is styling of place holder.

Works fine in firefox. So long as it is a normal text field you can do this.

since the ability of the different browsers to deal with certain conditions may be different.

maybe its a height problem with text when the custom.js adds the search box.

try this:

#search input[type="text"] {
 height: auto;
}

you can install this plugin. and install it and then add the lines above and save.

yes I think it is a fon size text vs. height issue in the input field in the popup/
