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 DatePicker 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().DatePicker()
              .Name("datepicker")
              .Label(label => {
                  label.Content("Show e-mails from...");
                  label.Floating(true);
              })
              .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%", title = "datepicker" })
    )

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

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

    <script>
        function contentHandler(){
            return "Show e-mails from...";
        }
    </script>
