To customize the style for the input textbox having a placeholder, we use the :placeholder-shown pseudo-class of CSS.
Example
The following examples illustrate CSS :placeholder-shown pseudo-class.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
input:placeholder-shown {
border-color: dodgerblue;
}
input:nth-of-type(even):placeholder-shown {
border-color: olivedrab;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" placeholder="dodgerblue">
<input type="email" placeholder="olivedrab">
</body>
</html>Output
This will produce the following result −
Example
