Hello friends,

 

I want to add a html 5 attribute (Ex : - placeholder="First name") with <apex:inputText />. Is there any way to add html 5 attribute with <apex:inputText />.

 

I do not want to go manipulation using jQuery OR JavaScript , If we have essy solution for it.

 

I Tried below approch but it's not working.

     <apex:form>
            <apex:repeat value="idToItemRequest" var="rec">
