Mofron-comp-flowuplabels NPM

FlowupLabels.js

Augments form labels to behave like placeholders, but with a twist.

SEE DEMO

Demo simulating disabled JS

Original concept by Matt D. Smith. Inspired by Mike Mitchell's FloatLabel.js.

Difference in this version:

The label gets out of the user's way immediately on focus
Labels should be proceeded by a colon ":", to indicate that the user still has something to fill. Users commonly mistake placeholder labels as prefilled inputs, an example being the common "Search..."
This implementation accounts for pre-filled elements on page load (toggleable)
Uses semantic labels, not placeholders
