In case you have ever thought of animating the value of the placeholder attribute in an Html form input field, I have you covered in this simple post.
We are going to make this possible using javascript and a little bit of CSS to design the placeholder value.
Video/Tutorial
Markup Code
All you need to do is to give your input field an id, Which we will later target using javascript.
<form> <input type="text" id="occEngine" placeholder="Search for: Jquery"> </form>
For our animation to happen we will use the two popular javascript methods namely;
- setTimeout() and
- setInterval().
The setTimeout() method calls a function or evaluates an expression after a specified number of milliseconds.
Note: 1000 milliseconds = 1 second
The setTimeout() method is only executed once,but incase you want to repeat it you use the setInterval() method as i showed you in the video. #Video
Javascript Code
//Waits the for DOM to fully load before running the code inside document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',function(){ //select the input by it's id const query = document.querySelector('#occEngine'); function placeholderAnimation(){ setTimeout(function(){ query.setAttribute('placeholder','Search for: Php'); },2000); setTimeout(function(){ query.setAttribute('placeholder','Search for: Html'); },4000); setTimeout(function(){ query.setAttribute('placeholder','Search for: Css'); },6000); setTimeout(function(){ query.setAttribute('placeholder','Search for: Javascript'); },8000); } //call or execute function placeholderAnimation(); //Continues|repeats to call the function every after 8 milliseconds setInterval(placeholderAnimation,8000); });
The setInterval() method calls a function at specified intervals in milliseconds.It will always continue calling the function until clearInterval() is called, or the window is closed.
