Floating Label

A floating label is a placeholder text for form or input fields, which floats above that field and remains visible once the user starts interacting with that field.

To implement a floating label in the Telerik UI DateInput for ASP.NET MVC, define it either as a string or from a function handler.

The following example demonstrates how to set the floating label as a string:

    @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
        .Name("datepicker")
        .Label(label =>
        {
            label.Content("Enter a date...");
            label.Floating(true);
        })
        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", title = "dateinput" })
    )

The following example demonstrates how to set the floating label from a function handler:

  @(Html.Kendo().DateInput()
        .Name("datepicker")
        .Label(label =>
        {
            label.ContentHandler("contentHandler");
            label.Floating(true);
        })
        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", title = "dateinput" })
  )

  <script>
      function contentHandler(){
        return "Enter a date...";
      }
  </script>
