The first improvement HTML5 brings to web forms is the ability to set placeholder text in an input field. Placeholder text is displayed inside the input field as long as the field is empty. When you click on (or tab to) the input field and start typing, the placeholder text disappears.
You’ve probably seen placeholder text before. For example, Mozilla Firefox includes placeholder text in the location bar that reads “Go to a Website”:

<form>
  <input name="q" placeholder="Go to a Website">
  <input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
