What is a placeholder attribute?
Definition and Usage
The placeholder attribute specifies a short hint that describes the expected value of an input field (e.g. a sample value or a short description of the expected format). The short hint is displayed in the input field before the user enters a value.
What is placeholder value?
The Placeholder Value enables you to provide a hint text about the values that need to be entered in an input field. On the entry page, this text is visible inside the input area, and disappears once the user starts typing in the field.
What is a value attribute?
The value attribute specifies the value of an <input> element. The value attribute is used differently for different input types: For "button", "reset", and "submit" - it defines the text on the button. For "text", "password", and "hidden" - it defines the initial (default) value of the input field.
What is the :: placeholder element used for?
The ::placeholder pseudo-element represents placeholder text in an input field: text that represents the input and provides a hint to the user on how to fill out the form. For example, a date-input field might have the placeholder text YYYY-MM-DD to clarify that numeric dates are to be entered in year-month-day order.
