Can you please add a test were attributes are added dynamically from JS?

Dynamic style updates tend to have their own set of bugs.

Do you really need to color the placeholder for testing?

Using the pseudo element ::-webkit-input-placeholder is a bit annoying because its scope is not yet well defined.

Yes, I'll add some tests for this.

I wanted to use the 'placeholder' attribute for the test and the 'value' attribute to display the same text for the reference file, so I styled them to look the same. I'll change them to both use the 'placeholder' attribute, though.

Thanks for the review!
