I know that Internet Explorer doesn't support the placeholder attribute for input tags, but surely in 2012 there must be another solution for IE?

The placeholder attribute specifies a short hint that describes the expected value of an input field (e.g. a sample value or a short description of the expected format). The short hint is displayed in the input field before the user enters a value.
The placeholder attribute specifies a short hint that describes the expected value of a input field / textarea. The short hint is displayed in the field before the user enters a value.
You can apply the placeholder attribute to input fields like text , email , tel , search or URL . It can also be applied to a textarea .
The placeholder attribute is essentially invisible to screen readers, so it can be used in conjunction with <label> , however it should not be used as a substitute for a <label> .
I wrote a jQuery plugin a while back that will add placeholder support to any browser that does not support it.

Actually, IE does support the placeholder attribute in 2012 (Version 10). Couple this with a polyfill for older browsers, and you should have a well-rounded solution to your problem.
