Description
*Problem*
Please can you add support of "Hint text" property in TextArea component also for Mobile Web? Now it is working only on Android and I don't understand why.
In my app I have a nice form with normal TextField's (with hint text) and on the end of the form I've got a TextArea, which is without hint text, so it looks inconsistent.
There is a workaround by manually checking the values, but this is inconvenient.
*Workaround*
var textArea = Titanium.UI.createTextArea({
value : 'Enter Text',
});
textArea._hintText = textArea.value;
textArea.addEventListener('focus', function(e) {
if (e.source.value == e.source._hintText) {
e.source.value = "";
}
});
textArea.addEventListener('blur', function(e) {
if (e.source.value == "") {
e.source.value = e.source._hintText;
}
});
Resolving as "Won't Fix" as MobileWeb has been deprecated.
Closing as will not fix.
