I tend to user input placeholder attributes to display things like "Enter blah blah blah". Then I use CSS placeholder color attributes to style the placeholder with lighter value than the normal entry text. So the placeholder is fainter than normal text entry.
I would like to style the NULL DISPLAY VALUE text I supply for Select LOV's in the same color. So in a given tabular form new row the placeholders and Select LOV NULL DISPLAY VALUES are consistent.
Anybody know of way to do that?
For example, if I had a select list of states. And I used a NULL DISPLAY VALUE of "Enter State", I could have a color of #444 when "Enter State" is displayed and a color of #bbb when "Georgia" is displayed.
I tried including HTML in the NULL DISPLAY VALUE. Putting something like a NULL DISPLAY VALUE of <span class="fainter-color">Enter State</span>. That didn't work.
Thanks.
