Error when using placeholder on input without md-input-container

[pcassis]

Placeholder require mdInputContainer so when input is not wrapped with md-input-container it gives:

Error: [$compile:ctreq] Controller 'mdInputContainer', required by directive 'placeholder', can't be found!

Preview (check console or remove placeholder):

Having the same issue.

[vertazzar]

it's because the "placeholder" is now an angular directive

<anything placeholder="foobar"></anything> will throw an error if you don't wrap it in the md-input-container directive

[aaronchar]

@vertazzar Exactly the issue.

[pcassis]

If it's impossible to overwrite default behavior only when it's wrapped with md-input-container then maybe it would be better to prefix (md-) these directives? Sometimes you need to use default html behavior and now it's impossible.

Oh, good call. I didn't think of the fact that it would break in other cases.

Fixed.
