title: h:inputText - jsf does not render the placeholder
body: <p>I want to create a landingPage and I want to save the data in my database through jsf 2.0 and Primefaces 3.5</p>
  
  <p>My page *.xhtml page looks like this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/z0MFB.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>However, I want to make it look like my HTML page:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vKjRf.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Besides the CSS my h:inputText should contain a placeholder. My code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h:form class="homepage_invitee_form" action="" method="POST"&gt;
      &lt;h:inputText name="email" placeholder="Email Address"
                   id="email_address_new" type="text placeholder" /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;h:inputText name="firstName" placeholder="First Name"
                   id="firstname_new" type="text placeholder" /&gt;
      &lt;h:inputText name="lastName" placeholder="Last Name"
                   id="lastname_new" type="text placeholder" /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;h:button value="Request Invitation" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary opal_btn"
                id="submit_form_new" /&gt;
  &lt;/h:form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see the placeholder attribute doesn't get rendered. I would really appreciate any idea as to how to render that properly.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>My HTML code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form class="homepage_invitee_form" action="" method="POST"&gt;
      &lt;input name="email" placeholder="Email Address" id="email_address_new" type="text placeholder"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;input name="firstName" placeholder="First Name" id="firstname_new" type="text placeholder"&gt;
      &lt;input name="lastName" placeholder="Last Name" id="lastname_new" type="text placeholder"&gt;&lt;br&gt; 
      &lt;button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary opal_btn" id="submit_form_new"&gt;Request Invitation&lt;/button&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
