CHtml文本字段颜色与占位符颜色相同

I have this:

CHtml::textField("Atava[admin_panel][0][u_type]", '', array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>128,'encode'=>false,'placeholder'=>'Placeholder content') );

My problem is:

when I add text to the text field, the placeholder text disappears (as it should)

But the added text gets the same color as the Placeholder text color(light grey).

I want the added text to have the default color (like it has without a placeholder)

any ideas??

Set css styles for placeholder http://jsfiddle.net/SKS23/

*::-webkit-input-placeholder {
    color: red;
}
*:-moz-placeholder {
    /* FF 4-18 */
    color: red;
}
*::-moz-placeholder {
    /* FF 19+ */
    color: red;
}
*:-ms-input-placeholder {
    /* IE 10+ */
    color: red;
}
