SID-00949: Jump Box no help text in IE8

The Jump and Search boxes have grayed help text ("Jump" and "Search") until you click them. Works great on Firefox but nothing shows in IE8, so users don't know what they are there for. It's the same on this site as well as mine.

Discussion and Answer

Thanks for reporting Ian. I filed TWikibug:Item6544 to track this issue.

The problem is in: pub/TWiki/PatternSkin/pattern.js

Line 62: #jumpFormField needs to be changed to input#jumpFormField

Line 71: #quickSearchBox needs to be changed to input#quickSearchBox

Thank you Travis for providing a fix, very much appreciated. I'll update the PatternSkin accordingly.
