How To Align Placeholder Text In HTML

Posted By Bajarangi soft , Posted On 08-10-2020

The placeholder attribute specifies a short hint that describes the expected value of a input field / textarea. The short hint is displayed in the field before the user enters a value. In most of the browsers, placeholder texts are usually aligned in left

The selector uses text-align property to set the text alignment in the placeholder.
This example describes only placeholder alignment, it does not align placeholder value.
Example 1:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
       <title>Change Placeholder alignment</title>
       <style>
           input[type="email"]::placeholder {

               /* Firefox, Chrome, Opera */
               text-align: center;
           }
           input[type="text"]::placeholder {

               /* Firefox, Chrome, Opera */
               text-align: right;
           }
           input[type="tel"]::placeholder {

               /* Firefox, Chrome, Opera */
               text-align: left;
           }
           input[type="email"]:-ms-input-placeholder {

               /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */
               text-align: center;
           }
           input[type="email"]::-ms-input-placeholder {

               /* Microsoft Edge */
               text-align: center;
           }
           body {
               text-align:center;
           }
           h1 {
               color:green;
           }
       </style>
   </head>
   <body>
       <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
       <h3>Placeholder Text Alignment</h3>
       <p>Center Aligned<br><input type="email"
       placeholder="Email"></p><br>

       <p>Right Aligned<br><input type="text"
       placeholder="Name"></p><br>

       <p>Left Aligned<br><input type="tel"
       placeholder="Phone Number"></p>
