No placeholder option for DATE field?

Doesn’t seem like it, but if you dont mind using jQuery you can just make a placeholder like this:

jQuery("#nf-field-X").attr("placeholder", "your custom placeholder text goes here");

Just replace the “X” with the relevant ID of the input field and the “your custom text goes here…”

Thanks. I thought of that but when I tried it, it still did not work. The field “#nf-field-X” is hidden because of the datepicker, so I used:

jQuery(".datepicker").attr("placeholder", "Date");

Still no joy.

I found a solution to this problem.
Ninja form fields are being loaded dynamically after the whole DOM is set up so when you are using
jQuery("#nf-field-X").attr("placeholder", "your custom placeholder text goes here");
the datepicker don’t even exists.
To tackle this use this code

jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery("#nf-field-X + input").attr("placeholder", "your custom placeholder text goes here");
});

which will be executed after all the ninja form fields are created.
