I’ve updated the code to support multiple inputs. It also supports password fields by cloning the object.

Ehy yeah cool hint
Since jQuery 1.4 has been released lately and the rise of the new placeholder attribute in HTML5, i think i’ll be able to release a new version adding your hint too.

Thanx for ur feedback!

Hey I used the and really liked it. I wanted to be able to use it on whole forms and not individual text inputs so I changed innerText to be an array that is indexed by the id of each text field. That way I can call it like
$('#myForm input.text').inputLabel();

Thanx, i know the password input issue.
Im planning a second version with some refactoring and new features, including this.
Since now i can say that switching from password to text input type isn’t possible on IE, but have to check it deeper.

Work well but need some modifications for password input…it just show dots!
