| Placeholder Attribute |
Placeholder Attribute | HTML5
Specifies a short hint that describes the expected value of an <input> or <textarea> form control.
The placeholder attribute must not contain carriage returns or line-feeds.
NOTE: Do not use the placeholder attribute instead of a <label> element, their purposes are different. The <label> attribute describes the role of the form element (i.e. it indicates what kind of information is expected), and the placeholder attribute is a hint about the format that the content should take.
Example
Input Example
<form>
<input type="text" name="fname" placeholder="First Name">
<input type="text" name="lname" placeholder="Last Name">
</form>
Textarea Example
<textarea placeholder="Describe yourself here..."></textarea>
Compatibility
This is an HTML5 Attribute.
