Fake placeholders...

var placeholderSupport = 'placeholder' in document.createElement('input');

function fixPlaceholder(el) {
  if(!placeholderSupport) {
    el.value = el.getAttribute('placeholder');
    el.className = 'gray';
    el.onfocus = function() {
      if(this.value === this.getAttribute('placeholder')) {
        this.value = '';
        this.className = '';
      }
    }
    el.onblur = function() {
      if(this.value === '') {
        this.className = 'gray';
        this.value = this.getAttribute('placeholder');
      }
    }
  }
}

var st = document.getElementById('searchtext');
if(st) {
  fixPlaceholder(st);
}
