When I try the demo link I get a blank page (in Chrome)
and the download link for the extension is set to private?

Thanks for the update :)
Someone asked about comboboxes, in the latest version, is it possible to add placeholder to comboboxes? Like I have combobox with: Male and Female options, can I add "Gender" as a placeholder?

Thank you

* New in version 1.2.0.3:

- Optimized core.
- RTL support.

RTL issues in combobox (not related to the extension):

- IE: must specify the horizontal position (any other than 'auto') or specify the text-align property in the object to let the extension align the placeholder correctly.
- Safari: the options list is always left aligned.
- Opera: the down arrow fills the control and overlaps the placeholder.

Other alignment issues in combobox (not related to the extension):

- The down arrow will overlap the placeholder if the object alignment is left and the placeholder is aligned to the right and vice-versa; the solution is adding an horizontal offset; if this will interfere with other entry objects alignments in the extension, a new instance can be created for only the affected comboboxes.
- IE 8 and earlier, as well as FireFox, have a vertical/horizontal misplacement whith padding.

* New in version 1.2.0.2:

- Workaround for Firefox issue (setting-up placeholders) in hidden inline frames.
- Background bug fix in some Gecko based browsers.

I'm talking about send/reset buttons and hover mode style is defined with Form Placeholder.

I'm not sure where the problem is.
Yesterday I saw that this is happening to standard send/reset buttons where hover is defined with "Form Placeholder".
Now I see that the same thing happens when "Button Pack" is used as a send/reset button.

On my site (link is in the signature) I used "Button Pack".
Here I used "Form Placeholder"

this is not an issue at all in the extension
according to the experts advice and the navigability standards, clickable/focusable objects, after a click should get the focus
if you click anywhere else, or start editing something in your contact form, the reset button will lose the focus
if you still want to change this standard behavior, go to the extension properties and in behavior category, set the get focus on click property to false

Of course that I want to change. That's why I use your plug-ins, because they have all these options :) Thank you :)
