MVC4 input field placeholder

by

An alternative to using a plugin is using an editor template. What you need to do is to create a template file in Shared\EditorTemplates folder and call it String.cshtml. Then put this in that file:

@Html.TextBox("",ViewData.TemplateInfo.FormattedModelValue, 
    new { placeholder = ViewData.ModelMetadata.Watermark })

Then use it in your view like this:

@Html.EditorFor(m=>Model.UnitPercent)

The downside, this works for properties of type string, and you will have to create a template for each type that you want support for a watermark.
