How to change the color of placeholder when focus the input field? I use this css to set the default color, but how to change it on focus?
::-webkit-input-placeholder { color: #999; }
/* Firefox < 19 */
:-moz-placeholder { color: #999; }
/* Firefox > 19 */
::-moz-placeholder { color: #999; }
/* Internet Explorer 10 */
:-ms-input-placeholder { color: #999; }
Try this, this should work :
input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: #999;
}
input:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: red;
}
/* Firefox < 19 */
input:-moz-placeholder {
color: #999;
}
input:focus:-moz-placeholder {
color: red;
}
/* Firefox > 19 */
input::-moz-placeholder {
color: #999;
}
input:focus::-moz-placeholder {
color: red;
}
/* Internet Explorer 10 */
input:-ms-input-placeholder {
color: #999;
}
input:focus:-ms-input-placeholder {
color: red;
}
