&lt;p&gt;Fairly new to InfoPath.  I&amp;#39;ve created a form with lots of Placeholder text, but unfortunately I&amp;#39;ve had to change my form from a filler to a browser form, which of course means all my placeholder text won&amp;#39;t work now.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are there any alternatives to placeholder?  Screen tips aren&amp;#39;t good enough as obviously the user has to hover their mouse over it first....&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SO for example, I have a text box which is for &amp;#39;comments&amp;#39; (it&amp;#39;s a travel request booking form) but I had placeholder which said &amp;quot;Also include any dietary requirements here&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;Any suggestions?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;thanks for any help :)&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
