Individual Filtering: Placeholder doesn't work correctly in IE

For the sake of meeting the test case requirement, my example is above copies the code directly out of the example found here~~~>http://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html

In order to reproduce my error, you have to open either the example or the test case in IE8. I've only tried it in IE 8, but as I understand it, the error occurs in all versions of IE.

Basically, IE doesn't support HTML5 input placeholders. I've attempted to use modernizr and a few other scripts that are supposed to get around this issue, but I haven't been able to get anything to work successfully in conjunction with datatables. Is there a way to get the input placeholder to work in IE? If so, could anyone provide an example.

Thanks,
