Can we use placeholder in label?
A placeholder attribute should not be used as an alternative to a label. The placeholder is a short hint intended to aid the user with data entry so it should not be identical to the label element.
What is a placeholder label?
Labels and Placeholders
Labels tell users what information belongs in a given form field and are usually positioned outside the form field. Placeholder text, located inside a form field, is an additional hint, description, or example of the information required for a particular field.
How to use label as placeholder in HTML?
First, you have to put the label AFTER the input in the HTML. This will ensure that we can target the label with our CSS. Then, instead of giving the input a placeholder directly in the HTML, we will use our label as the placeholder. In order for the label to be inside the input , we can use transform: translate() .
What are placeholders used for?
Placeholders are frequently used to provide important input formatting instructions or are used in place of a more appropriate label element (more on that in a bit).
