Placeholder text in mysite property

Hi Community,
Can we add place holder text within the text field in mysite
Instead of adding an example in the description, I would like to add the example within the text field as a placeholder?
Is this possible?
Regards

Hi,
You can use getElementsByName() method to select your text field and to change the
placeholder.
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

User metadata values is showing as plain text in Mysites after upgrading from 2010 to 2013

We have upgraded our Mysite from 2010 to 2013, after upgrading User metadata values is showing as plain text where
as in 2010 it has shown as hyperlinks.
In Mysite 2010 by clicking on user metadata for favorite sports, Favorite Movies etc...it will give the results from search containing same value for other user
by going to search results page. After upgrading it to 2013 (with 2010 UI) and running full crawls, I am able to search by clicking on any user property.
After upgrading look and feel to 2013 version these fields showing as plain text. Can anyone suggest how can we get hyperlinks and how can we make user
metadata searchable directly by clicking on Property value from Mysite. Below screen print explain you the difference clearly.

Hi Inderjeet, thanks for the update.
I am running with SP1 + july2014 CU.
Search is working fine, I am able to get search results from search page, here the problem is I cannot go to search results by directly clicking on a property.
In SP 2010, If I click on favourite sports team, (Chelsea football) it will open search results page with all users who have given this team name.
Where as in SP 2013, this data is appearing as plain text in mysites(Please note before UI upgrade, I am able to search as in SP 2010). You can notice the difference in my above screenshot.
Is this default behaviour in SP 2013? Has anything changed or am I missing something.

SSRS- Span tag with text-align CSS property

Hi All,
I hope you can direct me.
If I use the text box as HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles, and write the following in it:
"Ghada Naim"
It works correctly ,but the following do not respond to the style:
"Ghada Naim"
Please, what is the problem? Is the span tag with SSRS does not support to text align property or what?
Thank you,

Hi GhadaNaim,
In Reporting Services, the following is a complete list of tags that will render as HTML when defined as placeholder text:
Hyperlinks: <A HREF>
Fonts: 
Header, style and block elements: <H{n}>, <DIV>, ,, <DIV>, <LI>, <HN>
Text format: , , , <S>
List handling: <OL>, <UL>, <LI>
We can know that the tag is supported. Based on my further research, the tag is used to group inline-elements in a document and it provides no visual change by itself. So we couldn’t directly see its respond in report.
For more information about HTML Tag, please refer to the following document:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How Can I Set a Default Placeholder Text Language?

How can I set a default placeholder text language instead of having to set the language every time I use placeholder text?

Steve Werner wrote:
I think the default placeholder text language is the language of your version of InDesign.
The placeholder text is based on the current language setting. So if the language under the cursor is Hebrew, you'll get Hebrew.

Inline text-shadow style property missing

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has come across this as I'm at a loss trying to debug it.
I create a composition with text that has a text-shadow. The text shadow is there when I preview in IE11. I upload to my own site and it works fine.
Update: I've checked the composition in the LCMS on other browsers and the text-shadow is there. Looks like it could be an IE issue.
However, when I upload to my clients LCMS, all works correctly, except there are no text-shadows. When I inspect the code produced, the inline text-shadow style property is missing i.e. it is not hard coded in! Everything else is as expected.
In order to deploy the composition to my clients LCMS, I have to change some image url's but otherwise, there are no differences.
I can't work out why the JavaScript is not writing the text-shadow to the elements.
Does anyone know where I can put checks in my JS to see what is happening?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Patrick

Of course, text shadows are not supported in IE9 in particular. I am not sure whether filter is still supported though. You might want to check that out.
Try using filter instead in your css code like:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=#000000,direction=45);
Note: keep text-shadow for the other browsers too.
Hope it works but I make no promise.

Adding placeholder text in Photoshop CS4

Hi,
Hope this finds you well.
Does anyone know how to add placeholder text in Photoshop cs4?
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

There is no built-in function as with InDesign (Photoshop isn't a layout program, after all. If you're setting large amounts of body copy you're using the wrong tool for the job...).
Locate some placeholder text. Here's one of the many links Google returns:

How to disable placeholder text in the URL and search fields of the navigation bar?

Everytime I open a new tab (frequently, home page is set to blank) I have to look at "Go to a Website" in the navigation bar. The search field shows the name of the currently active search engine until text is inputed. All I want is to be able to do is disable the placeholder text, showing both fields as blank.

Thank you. Worked fine. For anyone who comes across this in the future, change "graytext" to "transparent" to hide the placeholder all the time. As is above, the placeholder shows when the mouse points at the box.

PDF printing out background placeholder text in fillable forms

I'm trying to print out a PDF which has fillable form fields. The Date of Birth text field has a faint grey placeholder text dd/mm/yyyy. Everytime those fields are filled in, the dd/mm/yyyy will also print out in the background. Is this an option that can be turned off or is it something to do with how the form was made?

XML: Using static & placeholder text inside element with children?

Hi there
I’m working with simple XML data with the following structure:
Root
 Row
 Company_name
 Physical_address
 Phone
 Website
 Email_address
 Row
 Company_name
 Physical_address
 Phone
 Website
 Email_address
etc.
The row element will be repeated many times. In setting up my InDesign document I’d like to use static text within each Row element. What’s confusing me is where I should use the Row tag. I’d like my imported XML data to run as continuous text, thus:
Company: placeholder text
Address: placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
Company: placeholder text
Address: placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
I tried setting it up like this, with the parent text frame given the Root tag:
<Row>Company: <Company_name>placeholder text</Company_name>
Address: <Physical_address>placeholder text</Physical_address>
<Phone>placeholder text</Phone>
<Website>placeholder text</Website>
<Email_address>placeholder text</Email_address></Row>
…but when I import my XML file I lose all my static text and each child element is indented more than its parent element. I would guess that by placing my static text within the Row tag it gets replaced when each Row element is imported, but where else would I place it? Do I have to create anchored text frames (tagged with Row) within the Root frame to hold each Row element?
I’d appreciate any insights.

OK, I’ve figured out the first problem. I just needed to play around with the options in the dialogue that comes up when importing XML. Specifically, the “Do not import contents of whitespace-only elements” needs to be checked. I still don’t see why that should affect whether or not my static text stays in place.
Now, my new question is this: It looks like all the child elements of a container element have to appear in the document in the same order in which they appear in the XML file. Is this right? If I swap my Email_address and Website tags around in my placeholder text, either the email address disappears or it appears at the end (depending on the options I select in the dialogue upon import). So if I want to change the order in which they appear I have to do so in the XML file as well?

Placeholder text doesn't seem to be working -- please help

I can create a textbox on a section page in the layout section. I have added and enabled some placeholder text in it. I've applied the changes to affect the other section pages in my book. Those section pages get the new textbox and placeholder text but nothing is selectable to change.
I feel like I have tried every combination of enabling box and text, just text, just box but still nothing is selectable on the section pages that I want to make different captions for.
Can someone please help me understand how to do this?
Thank you!!

Its not a problem..... points mean nothing really, the only thing I care about is being able to offer a suggestion that works and removes the worry and stress of facing a situation without somebody - metaphorically - at your side to put the smile back.
Goos luck with your books when they hit the store.

The Placeholder Text Comes Out in Arabic

When I apply placeholder text it comes out in Arabic. How can I make it so the placeholder text comes out in latin letters?

Press Ctrl before you click on the placeholder text, and you will be
able to choose whichever language you want.
But I think essentially the placeholder text follows the currently
selected language, so if you set the text to English USA or something, I
believe you should get appropraite placeholder text.

I double check my table of content and I do not have a place holder... so I don't understand the error.

Tab to placeholder text

Hi, I hope someone can help me! I am creating a custom template and need to figure out how to be able to tab to the placeholder text (just being able to tab to each section without having to click on each placeholder). Also, is it possible to make the placeholder become longer if I need more space to type, without making the the rest of the words in the document move?
Thanks!
Laura

Thank you - so basically I can't tab to each placeholder, like I would on a "boiler plate" type document. I will play around with the floating box - my goal is to be able to type in the placeholder text box without making other text move around, which changes the whole document.
There MUST be a way to "lock" the text box, or make a box that can be tabbed to! I know it can be done in Windows, but the whole point is to get away from Windows (which I have to use at work). Just had a thought - maybe I can create the template in Windows and mail it to myself and then save it to pages, and then I can tab to the text box? Basically it is a questionnaire that I use for work and want to be able to do it as fast as possible.
Thanks again
Laura

Add placeholder text in Numbers

I want to add placeholder text in cells on a spreadsheet but I am not able to select the option in the drop down menu.

OK. In the cell where you want the temperature type "Temperature". There is no concept of a default value when the cell is empty so the only other thing I can suggest is to make a entry table like this:
Parameter
Value
Units
Temperature
˚ C
Machine 1 Value

Can you change the placeholder text from latin to english? Because I dont understand it.

Sarah,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
You're not supposed to understand it because it's gibberish Latin placeholder text. This issue has come up so often that I wrote a user tip:
