Erase placeheld fields for browsers without FormData support

Hi guys,

I noticed a severe bug when using CF7 with for example Internet Explorer 9 or other browsers which don’t support both HTML5 FormData and the placeholder input attribute. In the scripts.js file, in the submit callback of the form, a return statement is reached before the values of placeheld fields are set to an empty string:

$form.submit( function( event ) {
	if ( typeof window.FormData !== 'function' ) {
		return;
	}

	wpcf7.submit( $form );
	event.preventDefault();
} );

Also here:

wpcf7.submit = function( form ) {

	if ( typeof window.FormData !== 'function' ) {
		return;
	}

	...

	$( '[placeholder].placeheld', $form ).each( function( i, n ) {
		$( n ).val( '' );
	} );

};

The [placeholder].placeheld each loop should be executed before the return statement of window.FormData not being a function, so that placeheld fields are cleared.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks!
