Comment (by lessbloat):

 Unfortunately the html5 input placeholder doesn't work in IE8 & IE9.

 I refactored our custom placeholder code in 24042.diff​.  A couple notes:

 - Note sure if common.js is the right file for this.  Seemed to be the
 best place.  This can be reused anywhere in the admin now.
 - I used _.throttle to prevent the keyup from firing so much (note, I
 tried _.debounce, but it delayed the hiding of the placeholder text a bit
 longer than _.throttle)
