angular.module('test', [])
    .directive('placeholder', function($timeout){
        var i = document.createElement('input');
        if ('placeholder' in i) {
            return {}
        }
        return {
            link: function(scope, elm, attrs){
                if (attrs.type === 'password') {

                }
                $timeout(function(){
                    elm.val(attrs.placeholder);
                    elm.bind('focus', function(){
                        if (elm.val() == attrs.placeholder) {
                            elm.val('');
                        }

                        if (elm.val() == '') {
                            elm.val(attrs.placeholder);
                        }
