Can enter text in input text fields? - html

Having a slight issue with the input[type="text"] fields. I cannot enter any text into the text fields neither can I highlight the text field with the cursor, the cursor does not even appear or flash at all. Its as if the input field is disabled.
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="placeholder text here" />
Help will be great. Thanks in Advance

instead of placeholder make it as value
<input type="text" name="name" value="placeholder text" />

HTML form label text moving when entered many characters

The label text on my custom HTML form is moving when entering too many characters. I have attached a picture for visual reference. If I were to add more characters the label text would completly dissapear. I would really appreciate if you can help me out here. Picture of form
Here is an example of what my labels code look like:
<label>
Last Name
<span class="l-name">
<input
type="text"
id="lastname"
name="lastname"
placeholder="Last Name"
required=""
/>
</span>
</label> ```
Fixed the issue, moving the label description outside the field did it.

how do I place a text above a type text box

placeholder not showing when my input type = text

My placeholder value doesn't show, until i hit the backspace button. Happens only when the input type is text.
<input type="text" id="name"
name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="First Name" >
<input type="password" id="Password"
name="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password">
when input type = password it works but whenever I use text it doesn't display until I move the cursor back(press backspace on the field)
I had this problem with WordPress and I noted it was erroneously caused by leaving an empty space in the value attribute.
So instead of this : value="SomeValue " have it as value="SomeValue"
Notice the empty space after the value seems it is the reason why you have to backspace for the placeholder to be visible. This is the only solution that worked for me.

remove text box drop down suggestions

I have a text input where people type and send text. I don't want the text box to have a drop down box with suggestions based on previous inputs. How do i remove this textbox drop down box? (I know its gonna be a simple 1 line of code but I can't find it :P)
Try this attribute in your input tag:
autocomplete="off"
This should do it
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" />
you can try this
<input type="text" autocomplete="new-password" />
