  Placeholder: Landscape and Narrative In Virtual Environments
Placeholder is the name of a research project which explored a new paradigm for narrative action in virtual environments.
Placeholder was to experiment with capturing actual places - in the attitude of landscape painting traditions or documentary cinema, for example - using video and audio recorded on location as the raw material for constructing the virtual environment.
Placeholder was a performance piece in that one of the characters was improvised live - the character of the Goddess.

 Placeholder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A placeholder is a term, sign or some other thing which generally stands in the place of content which is unknown or not identified.
In disciplines involving formal languages, particularly mathematics and computer science, the placeholder concept is represented by free variables and bound variables, and on what was originally a more light-hearted level, metasyntactic variables.
In politics, a placeholder is sometimes used to indicate that a person is acting in a position on a non-permanent basis or as a proxy.

Captain Placeholder was a NPC (non-player/playable character) in (A storm with widespread snowfall accompanied by strong winds) Blizzard's (Click link for more info and facts about MMORPG) MMORPG (Click link for more info and facts about World of Warcraft) World of Warcraft.
Though originally created purely as a temporary measure, allowing players to travel from the "Menethil" section of the gameworld to the "Auberdine" section while a glitch in the normal method of in-game travel was investigated and fixed, the Captain quickly became quite popular among players.
When an April 2005 patch made Captain Placeholder no longer necessary, fans of the character quickly began petitioning Blizzard for his return in one fashion or another, even to the point of recording a song entitled "Lament to Captain Placeholder" containing lyrics such as

 MCMS 101 - Getting Content out of Placeholder ....   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is desirable to get the content according to the type of placeholder for e.g in case of ImagePlaceholder you want the URL of the Image or some other properties rather then just a blog of string or HTML.
Also Note that in case of empty placeholder I don't want to display broken image so I am replaying with a FFFFFF.gif that is 1 pixel transparent image.
Placeholder pl here is the name of the placeholder as defined in MCMS Template Explorer and not the id of the Placeholder Control that is dragged in to HTML view but the name used in BindToPlaceholder of that Control.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Notice that I put the text, two buttons, and PlaceHolder inside a Panel, although I did not need to.
When the button is clicked, the Clear method of the Controls collection class is called and thus removes the DataGrid control from the PlaceHolder.
Now, calling this method removes ALL controls placed on the PlaceHolder, so if you have multiple controls added, you will have to remove it by calling it out by ID (or index number).

 Beware the Placeholder - www.ezboard.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As for those other "placeholders" I don't think you can compare a meet and greet to some of the shows that have lasted all these years.
The placeholder that turns out to be such a guest hit that it sticks around or the new addition that is intended to be a long-term attraction that SUCKS!
The trick obviously is have a placeholder that is somewhere between "indifferent" and "trash".

 Placeholder???
A friend of mine and I have been going for basically the same goals and neither of us can find why this command does what it does.
Placeholder in a screen file inserts the code within it's brackets in to the placeholder of the same name in the.trmplate file.
...and we see this called in several different screens, with the dest = "content">....and we can't figure out what in the world 'content is or what it's actually filling in there.

 Help targeting a placeholder?? - ActionScript.org Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
I can target the SWF but cannot target the placeholder in which I want it to appear.
Ideally I would like to click on a submenu and load an external swf into a designated placeholder.
I don't know how target the placeholder e.g mc_placeholder or how to tell it where to load in terms of _root/_parent/_blank etc. Sorry If I'm confusing the issue.

 Modify a Placeholder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Placeholders allow you to target content to a desired user, also called a visitor.
You use the tools provided in the WebLogic Administration Portal to modify a Placeholder by editing the queries that determine the content displayed in a Placeholder on a JSP page.
In the Placeholders Resource tree, select the Placeholder and the content search item you want to modify.

 Stefan Goßner : Implementing an RSS Aggregator Placeholder Control for MCMS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
So the next logical step is to discuss how a RSS feed can be agregated in a MCMS site - and it should be possible that content authors can configure the Feed Url and other parameters while authoring the site.
The placeholder control needs to render different child controls during authoring time and during presentation time: During authoring the author should be able to configure the aggregated feed and in presentation time the information retrieved from the configured feed should be rendered in the configured way.
Now after we have created the authoring time controls we need to render the presentation time controls - but this is a quite simple job as we will use a Literal control to hold this data.

 Visual Studio Magazine - Use the PlaceHolder Control in ASP.NET   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
You can clear that collection and add to it at run time; for example, you could add a Web user control (a Web page in modular form) at run time.
Add a PlaceHolder control wherever you plan to place the meaty sections of your site.
You don't have to place all your ASCX files in a separate folder, but it does further isolate the application.

 Interactivetools.com Forum: General: Feature/Product Suggestions: AM: Requesting a new Image Placeholder
There may already be a workaround for what you are trying to accomplish.
Is it possible to use a bit of PHP or even javascript to parse out the image name from the regular placeholder - and could this be done before handing the filename off to the program?
In the Article edit interface there is a suffix for the image placeholder that spits out the image URL only (i.e.

 Stefan Goßner : Unnecessary custom Placeholder controls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This means that all Placeholder Controls which only modify the presentation mode behaviour of an existing placeholder control can be replaced with this out-of-the box method.
Drawback: if you have to include this configured placeholder control on multiple templates then I would still use a custom placeholder control to the effort to add this code multiple times.
It was intended to relief the fact that only 3 out of the box placeholder controls are shipped with the product.

 PlaceHolder That Persists Its Children
A big part of this that I needed was a PlaceHolder Control that didn't lose its children between postbacks.
I have a UserControl for each step in the wizard and just flip them in and out when flipping through the steps.
In the most recent MSDN (on the one before that) someone Dino Esposito (I think) gave the source code for an ASP.NET wizard control he wrote.

 Hawkfield.Tech: Remove SPAN from PlaceHolder
When you put a PlaceHolder on your webpage and add stuff to it, asp.NET automatically adds a SPAN tag, which can be really annoying.
For example, say you have pieces of HTML code in a database and want to add them in different locations, you put a PlaceHolder in those locations to make sure you can add the HTML at runtime.
Many sites give a solution to enhance the functionality of the PlaceHolder by making your own PlaceHolder and customizing it in a User Control.

One is that changing the name would make me want to change the URL, and that would cause all sorts of weirdness and problems.
So thanks to those who suggested names, both in comments and on the LJ poll, but for now, it remains Placeholder.
Not having enough to do or think about, I looked this over today, and oddly, have some things to say about it.
