Add Placeholder Text to a Text Field

Add Placeholder Text to a Text Field

Problem Explanation

placeholder is an attribute, not a tag. It can be used together with the attribute text of the input tag to create a text to visualize when the input box is empty.

 <input type=text placeholder="This is a placeholder text">

If you're stuck check for these issues:

  • you should add the placeholder attribute to the input tag already present in the code without removing anything; if by accident you removed or modified something remember that you can restart with a clean code by clicking reset all code button
  • the syntax is the same of every attribute: <tag attributeName="attributeValue" > and the value to insert is indicated by the challenge's instructions (check for typos).

Good luck!
