Using Inputmask jquery plugin default placeholder text not displayed

I am using the input mask jQuery plugin but I am unable to see placeholder text by default but on hover it will be displayed.

$("input[name='birth_year_1']").inputmask("dd/mm/yyyy", {
  placeholder: "dd/mm/yyyy"
});
Solution

  • Set the clearMaskOnLostFocus option

    $(document).ready(function(){
  $("#date").inputmask("99/99/9999",{ "placeholder": "dd/mm/yyyy", clearMaskOnLostFocus: false});
});
