placeholder text not visible in ie8

[TGScreative]

In IE8 placeholder text is not visible. Since the default Search widget uses placeholder text, in IE8 it just looks like an empty box. I saw this solution using jquery I beleive at http://docs.tinyfactory.co/jquery/2012/12/18/HTML5-Placeholder-In-ie7-and-ie8-fix.html. Could someone give me instructions how to include this code in the theme?

I normally use this javascript file - http://jamesallardice.github.io/Placeholders.js/ you just need to add it to your theme - add the file as placeholder.js in your js folder of your child theme - then in functions.php add:

//Add javascipts to theme
function genesischild_scripts_styles() {
	wp_register_script ( 'placeholder' , get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/placeholder.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1', true );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'placeholder' );//version 3.0.2
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'genesischild_scripts_styles' );
