Floating labels Basic example

Wrap a pair of `<input class="form-control">` and `<label>` elements in `.form-floating` to enable floating labels with Bootstrap’s textual form fields. A `placeholder` is required on each `<input>` as our method of CSS-only floating labels uses the `:placeholder-shown` pseudo-element. Also note that the `<input>` must come first so we can utilize a sibling selector (e.g., `~`).

When there’s a `value` already defined, `<label>`s will automatically adjust to their floated position.

Input with value

Form validation styles also work as expected.

Invalid input
Floating labels Textareas

By default, `<textarea>`s with `.form-control` will be the same height as `<input>`s.

Comments

To set a custom height on your `<textarea>`, do not use the `rows` attribute. Instead, set an explicit `height` (either inline or via custom CSS).

Comments
Floating labels Selects

Other than `.form-control`, floating labels are only available on `.form-select`s. They work in the same way, but unlike `<input>`s, they’ll always show the `<label>` in its floated state.Selects with `size` and `multiple` are not supported.

Floating labels Layout

When working with the CoreUI for Bootstrap grid system, be sure to place form elements within column classes.
