Description

Specifying "" as the last parameter for navigator.notification.prompt, the prompt dialog will still show "Default Text" in the text input box. However, putting a string of just a single space works (but also results in a space in the text box).

In additional seems like the default of "Default Text" isn't the best choice from UX perspective. A default of an empty text box would make more sense.

Changing line 5909 in cordova.js from:

var _defaultText = (defaultText || "Default text");
to
var _defaultText = (defaultText || "");

Resolves the issue and gives a blank text box by default. Documentation would also need to be updated with the new default if this is adopted.
