Placeholder text

[shrinity]

Is it possible to separate placeholder text from the placeholder background. When I change the opacity property, the entire placeholder strip responds resulting in a transparent field. I want to alter the opacity of only the placeholder text. If I could do that, then I can try to use a brief animation on the text to bring some life into a required field which was ignored while filling my form.
Thank you.

You could always use the ‘required’ attribute if people are missing that field.

yippeeee! color: rgba() is just what I was looking for! many thanks, jamy_za. I also stumbled upon a good article on the rgba() property at https://css-tricks.com/rgba-browser-support/

Paulie_D, the ‘required’ attribute seems to be a better choice to indicate missed fields. Thank you for your input.

You could also use HSLa.
