Click into search form.
Start typing and placeholder text disappears.
Click out of search form.
Placeholder text reappears over the typed text.
How do I make it that: placeholder text does not reappear over typed text.
Hello!
The placeholder disappears because when you click on search, the input is automatically focused there. If you click-right on the search button, then you can see again the placeholder name. A workaround there could be to delete the placeholder from the element’s settings.
Thank you!
Hello Bettina
Tx for feedback.
I like the placeholder so would want to keep it.
Let me explain in different way, and please see image of issue here: https://i.postimg.cc/yxXgxFQH/Placeholder-text.png
1. When I click into the search form text input field the placeholder text goes away (expected).
2. When I type into the search form text input field the what I typed shows and there is no placeholder text (expected).
3. When I click out of the search text input field (not clicking the search button, just somewhere else on the page) so that the text input field is no longer active, what I typed keeps on displaying, but the placeholder text reappears (over the text that I typed).
*In reference to the above post: The problem is that the placeholder text reappears over the typed text when you click out of the input field.
So my question is:
When the text input field already has some writing in it, is there a way to make the placeholder text not display when that input field is not active?
Tx!
Hello!
Yes, I understood the situation and the placeholder is working like this. Now, you can change this functionality, only from the code, but this will require custom work which is not covered by the support team.
Thank you for understanding!
Okay. Tx for feedback. I will correct issue on site with custom css.
Maybe devs will resolve the weird transition in future rollout.
