Since this won't work: <g:ui_reference name="QUERY:u_locationISNOTEMPTY" table="u_bcp_sites" placeholder="Choose a site..." />
One must get crafty. This will do the trick:
First, the jelly portion:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<script>
addLateLoadEvent(function(){
setPlaceholderText();
});
</script>
...
...
Now the Client Script portion:
function setPlaceholderText()
{
var el = gel('sys_display.QUERY:u_locationISNOTEMPTY');
if (el)
el.placeholder = "Choose a site...";
}
Even though I got this to work, is this the only way to get placeholder text in a <g:ui_reference> field on a UI Page ?
