Instead of checking values against the placeholder text you should really use a data-modified flag on the input, and then clear the input on form submit if the flag is not set. And for AJAX interfaces you may not even have a form, so you should be able to associate an arbitrary submission event with the input. This is one of those really simple situations that isn't. | |

I've found this to be annoying when the UI doesn't also include labels next to the input. Over the past several months I've started replacing this method with using placeholder text, which I think is a UX improvement. | |
