HTML Placeholder Styling

In addition to the Jquery placeholder styles we currently use (<html5):

.placeholder-active{ /* awesome styles*/ }

You can add the following classes so you can style the placeholder text in the html 5 (which will automatically take presidence over the jquery placeholder)

::-webkit-input-placeholder{ /* awesome styles*/ } 

input:-moz-placeholder { /* awesome styles*/ }

You can also target individual browsers (dunno why you would, but can) as explained in the reference I got this from:
