title: placeholder text not displayed on IE with focus in
body: <p>I am using an input field with placeholder in my angular2 app. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input #searchEl type="search" placeholder="some text" autofocus&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The requirement is to keep focus in on the input field by default. However on IE, it looks like the placeholder text is not displayed when we focus in (not the case with chrome and firefox).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any solution or workaround to this issue? Is there a way to still display placeholder text when we focus in the input field on IE? I am using IE 11</p>
