How to use bitcoin price as place holder in php

Question

I am loading the current bitcoin price to my webpage using:

var auto_refresh = setInterval(

     function()

     {$('.btc-price').load('gox.php');}, 10000);

I can get the current price to display with:

<div class="btc-price"></div>

Now, I want to use the price as a 'placeholder' in an input field:

<input placeholder="[current bitcoin price here]" />

But it does not work. How to do this?

Answer 1

You can do it by providing an id to your input field and then set the attribute placeholder through jquery.

Example:

var auto_refresh = setInterval(

     function()

     {$.get('gox.php', function (data) {

          $("#inputid").attr('placeholder', data);

     });}, 10000);
