Hi Russell,

The block has the value 'Placeholder' because students and staff are
expected to change that when they put a block onto a page. When there is
no value, the block doesn't have a title, which changes the behaviour of
the block and there is not heading for the block or a default heading,
e.g. from a journal entry is used.

This is more of a usability issue that can be resolved by asking
students to always have a proper title for a block or consciously remove
the 'Placeholder' value to not have a title at all for styling purposes.

Thank you
Kristina

Title:
  Swap placeholder text for placeholder attribute

Status in Mahara:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When adding a new block to a Mahara page, the user is prompted to
  enter a 'block title'.

  The word 'placeholder' is present as the value of the input box.  This
  leads some students to have many blocks with a title of 'placeholder'.
  Here's an abbreviated fragment of the HTML...

  
  <input type="text" class="form-control text autofocus" name="title" value="Placeholder">

  Would it be better to have a blank 'value' and use the 'placeholder'
  attribute instead?  So the HTML fragment would be as follows...

  <input type="text" class="form-control text autofocus" name="title"
  value="" placeholder="Block title">
