Input group

Easily create input groups by prepending or appending icons, buttons, or text with floating labels in the TextBox control. For example, you can prepend text with a dollar symbol ($) for price input or prepend an at sign (@) for user names.

Floating label (placeholder text)

The ASP.NET MVC TextBox control floats placeholder text to the top of the input box with an animation when the input receives focus or the input has a value. The floating label is used to ensure the input value and label are always visible.
