Fix html5 placeholder attribute for ie7 & ie8

Placeholder text is a short example or hint text that is shown in a form field when the field is unfocused and has no input from the user.

   if (jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version.substr(0, 1) < 9) { // ie7&ie8
        jQuery('input[placeholder], textarea[placeholder]').each(function () {
        var input = jQuery(this);
          jQuery(input).val(input.attr('placeholder'));

        jQuery(input).focus(function () {
             if (input.val() == input.attr('placeholder')) {
                   input.val('');
              }
         });

         jQuery(input).blur(function () {
            if (input.val() == '' || input.val() == input.attr('placeholder')) {
                input.val(input.attr('placeholder'));
                    }
             });
       });
  }

Displaying Future Posts in WordPress

If you do like I do and schedule posts ahead of time (especially on the podcast), there’s a way inside of WordPress to show your readers what posts are coming up next: <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('post_status=future&order=DESC&showposts=5'); if ($my_query->have_posts()) { while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?> <?php the_date(); ?> - <?php the_title(); ?> <?php endwhile; } ?> This will display up to 5 “scheduled” posts wherever you drop in the code. Add a headline <h2> tag if you want to give it a title (should you want to use it as a widget). Want to see this code in action? Check the WordPulse podcast page‘s sidebar to see it working!
