     *  be used to display the hint within the field? If set to <code>false</code>, then use of
     *  the <code>placeholder</code> attribute is disabled and an alternative technique to display
     *  the hint in-field is used instead.
     *  <p>
     *  The HTML5 <code>placeholder</code> attribute is supported in the following major browsers:
     *  <ul>
     *  <li>Chrome 4+</li>
     *  <li>Firefox 4+</li>
     *  <li>Internet Explorer 10+</li>
     *  <li>Safari 5+</li>

     *      {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.PhonegapIntegration packaging with PhoneGap})</li>
     *  <li>Mobile Safari for iOS 3.2+</li>
     *  </ul>
     *  <p>
     *  In browsers other than the above, in-field hints are implemented via a different technique.
     *  <p>
     *  Note that placeholder behavior is known to differ in Internet Explorer and certain old
     *  versions of the above browsers due to a recent change in the HTML5 specification regarding
     *  the <code>placeholder</code> attribute. Under the old rules, the placeholder is cleared
     *  when the element is focused. In the latest HTML5 spec as published by WHATWG, the placeholder
     *  is still displayed when the element is focused as long as the value is an empty string.
     *  <p>
     *  <h3>Styling the placeholder</h3>
     *  While there isn't a standard way to style the placeholder text, Chrome, Firefox,
     *  Internet Explorer, and Safari provide vendor-prefixed pseudo-classes and/or pseudo-elements
     *  that can be used in CSS selectors:
     *  <table border="1">
     *  <tr>
     *    <th>Browser</th>
     *    <th>Pseudo-class or pseudo-element</th>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Chrome, Safari</td>
     *    <td><code>::-webkit-input-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Firefox 4 - 18</td>
     *    <td><code>:-moz-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Firefox 19+</td>
     *    <td><code>::-moz-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Internet Explorer</td>
     *    <td><code>:-ms-input-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  </table>
     *  <p>
     *  Note that unlike other browsers, Firefox 19+ applies opacity:0.4 to the placeholder text.
     * See <a href='https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556145' target='_blank'>Bug 556145 - Placeholder text default
     * style should use opacity instead of GrayText</a>
     *  <p>
     *  Because browsers are required to ignore the entire rule if a selector is invalid,
     *  separate rules are needed for each browser. For example:
     *  <pre>::-webkit-input-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;
     * :-moz-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;
     * ::-moz-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;
     * :-ms-input-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;</pre>
     *  <p>
     *  If using <a href='http://sass-lang.com' target='_blank'>Sass</a>, it may be useful to utilize Sass'
     * <a href='http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#parent-selector' target='_blank'>parent selector

     * .myCustomItemError,

     *  <h3>Accessibility concerns</h3>
     *  The HTML5 specification notes that a placeholder should not be used as a replacement
     *  for a title. The placeholder is intended to be a <em>short</em> hint that assists the user
     *  who is entering a value into the empty field. The placeholder can be mistaken by some
     *  users for a pre-filled value, particularly in Internet Explorer because the same color
     *  is used, and the placeholder text color may provide insufficient contrast, particularly
     *  in Firefox 19+ because of the default 0.4 opacity. Furthermore, not having a title reduces
     *  the hit area available for setting focus on the item.

    /**
     * If {@link com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.TextItem#getShowHintInField showing the hint in field} and if
     * supported by the browser, should the HTML5
     * <a href='http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/forms.html#attr-input-placeholder'
     * target='_blank'><code>placeholder</code> attribute</a>
     *  be used to display the hint within the field? If set to <code>false</code>, then use of
     *  the <code>placeholder</code> attribute is disabled and an alternative technique to display
     *  the hint in-field is used instead.
     *  <p>
     *  The HTML5 <code>placeholder</code> attribute is supported in the following major browsers:
     *  <ul>
     *  <li>Chrome 4+</li>
     *  <li>Firefox 4+</li>
     *  <li>Internet Explorer 10+</li>
     *  <li>Safari 5+</li>
     *  <li>Opera 11.50+</li>
     *  <li>Android 2.1+ <code>WebView</code> (used by the stock Browser app and when
     *      {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.PhonegapIntegration packaging with PhoneGap})</li>
     *  <li>Mobile Safari for iOS 3.2+</li>
     *  </ul>
     *  <p>
     *  In browsers other than the above, in-field hints are implemented via a different technique.
     *  <p>
     *  Note that placeholder behavior is known to differ in Internet Explorer and certain old
     *  versions of the above browsers due to a recent change in the HTML5 specification regarding
     *  the <code>placeholder</code> attribute. Under the old rules, the placeholder is cleared
     *  when the element is focused. In the latest HTML5 spec as published by WHATWG, the placeholder
     *  is still displayed when the element is focused as long as the value is an empty string.
     *  <p>
     *  <h3>Styling the placeholder</h3>
     *  While there isn't a standard way to style the placeholder text, Chrome, Firefox,
     *  Internet Explorer, and Safari provide vendor-prefixed pseudo-classes and/or pseudo-elements
     *  that can be used in CSS selectors:
     *  <table border="1">
     *  <tr>
     *    <th>Browser</th>
     *    <th>Pseudo-class or pseudo-element</th>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Chrome, Safari</td>
     *    <td><code>::-webkit-input-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Firefox 4 - 18</td>
     *    <td><code>:-moz-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Firefox 19+</td>
     *    <td><code>::-moz-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  <tr>
     *    <td>Internet Explorer</td>
     *    <td><code>:-ms-input-placeholder</code></td>
     *  </tr>
     *  </table>
     *  <p>
     *  Note that unlike other browsers, Firefox 19+ applies opacity:0.4 to the placeholder text.
     * See <a href='https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556145' target='_blank'>Bug 556145 - Placeholder text default
     * style should use opacity instead of GrayText</a>
     *  <p>
     *  Because browsers are required to ignore the entire rule if a selector is invalid,
     *  separate rules are needed for each browser. For example:
     *  <pre>::-webkit-input-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;
     * :-moz-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;
     * ::-moz-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;
     * :-ms-input-placeholder {
     *     color: blue;
     *     opacity: 1;
     * &#125;</pre>
     *  <p>
     *  If using <a href='http://sass-lang.com' target='_blank'>Sass</a>, it may be useful to utilize Sass'
     * <a href='http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#parent-selector' target='_blank'>parent selector
     * feature</a>.
     *  For example:
     *  <pre>.myCustomItem,
     * .myCustomItemRTL,
     * .myCustomItemDisabled,
     * .myCustomItemDisabledRTL,
     * .myCustomItemError,
     * .myCustomItemErrorRTL,
     * .myCustomItemFocused,
     * .myCustomItemFocusedRTL,
     * .myCustomItemHint,

     *     // ...

     *         opacity: 1;
     *     }
     *     &amp;:-moz-placeholder {
     *         color: blue;
     *         opacity: 1;
     *     }
     *     &amp;::-moz-placeholder {
     *         color: blue;

     *     }
     *     &amp;:-ms-input-placeholder {
     *         color: blue;
     *         opacity: 1;
     *     }
     * &#125;</pre>
     *  <p>
     *  If using <a href='http://compass-style.org' target='_blank'>Compass</a>, the

     * target='_blank'><code>input-placeholder</code> mixin</a>
     *  that was added in version 1.0 can further simplify the code to style the placeholder text
     *  For example:
     *  <pre>.myCustomItem,
     * .myCustomItemRTL,
     * .myCustomItemDisabled,
     * .myCustomItemDisabledRTL,
     * .myCustomItemError,

     * .myCustomItemDisabledHint,
     * .myCustomItemDisabledHintRTL {
