Hi all,
I was attempting to change the Hint Text that appears when you click +People in the People section. I got this far, but I was unsuccessful:
document.getElementsByID('#user_list_textarea').placeholder='new text for email';
Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you write it as a function in your custom JS...you just have to update the "var instructionText" and "var placeholderText" to what you want it to display in the pop-up window. This is what we've had in production for over 18 months now:
function _nextButton(e) {
//alert("click happens - comment that out now");
var src = e.target || e.srcElement;
// if there is a click on something and it's the addUsers button and the title of popup is "Add People" THEN DO THE FOLLOWING
if (src && src.id == "addUsers" && src.getAttribute("title") == "Add People") {
e.preventDefault();
var instructionText = "Type or paste a comma separated list of valid usernames (i.e. abc123) or ID # (i.e. 999999999) below:";
var placeholderText = "Example: 999999991, 999999992, abc123, johndoe, janedoe";
$('#create-users-step-1 p:first').html(instructionText);
$('#create-users-step-1 textarea:first').attr('placeholder', placeholderText);
}
}
// general listener that checks every click and when one is
// detected performs the "_nextButton" function listed above.
document.addEventListener('click', _nextButton);
