Show span on input focus

Question

I have two text fields that bind with <span> to count total length of a characters.

I have applied ng-if condition.

But my scenario is that it should only show characters left text when the respective textarea is focused .

<textarea ng-model="goal.goal_name"
 required ng-focus="openFullcreateGoalController()" maxlength="90" placeholder="Write your title here"></textarea>
 <span ng-if="goal.goal_name && !goal.goal_description">{{90 - goal.goal_name.length}}characters left</span>

  <textarea msd-elastic ng-model="goal.goal_description" required placeholder="Add description" maxlength="140"></textarea>
   <span ng-if="goal.goal_description">{{90 - goal.goal_description.length}}characters left</span>

My code only shows it if another one is empty.

You can use the css :focus rule

 var app = angular.module('my-app', [], function() {}) app.controller('AppController', function($scope) { $scope.goal = { goal_name: 'goal_name', goal_description: 'goal_description' }; }) 

 textarea.charleft + span { display: none; } textarea.charleft:focus + span { display: inline; } 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script> <div ng-app="my-app"> <div ng-controller="AppController"> <textarea ng-model="goal.goal_name" class="charleft" required maxlength="90" placeholder="Write your title here"></textarea> <span ng-if="goal.goal_name">{{90 - goal.goal_name.length}}characters left</span> <textarea msd-elastic class="charleft" ng-model="goal.goal_description" required placeholder="Add description" maxlength="140"></textarea> <span ng-if="goal.goal_description">{{90 - goal.goal_description.length}}characters left</span> </div> </div>
