I want to change the placeholder attribute trying attr()
using it this way:
$(this).attr("placeholder", " Mandatory field");
But the result is not the Font-Awesome icon , it literally looks looks like this:
" Mandatory field"
Nevertheless, if I put
<input type="text" class="mandatory_field form-control" id="affiliation" placeholder=" Mandatory field"/>
with CSS
.mandatory_field {
font-family: FontAwesome,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
}
It works, but I need to know how to get those results dynamically with jQuery.
Thanks in advance.
font-family:FontAwesome
You'll need the specific CSS code for the icon prefixed with a \\u\u003c/code> .
Font-Awesome documents only class and unicode. Fortunately, this site has what you need. Here's what it should be in jQuery:
$('.mandatory_field').attr('placeholder', '\ Mandatory field');
The only difference between CSS and JavaScript font entities is the
u
in the second character position for JavaScript.
In the demo, I also added some styles with the
::placeholder
pseudo element as a bonus. You can style your placeholders without affecting the user input style.
Demo
$('.mandatory_field').attr('placeholder', '\ Mandatory field');
/* With the exception of font-family:FontAwesome everything || is optional. */ input { font: inherit } .mandatory_field::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* Chrome/Opera/Safari */ color: red; font-family: FontAwesome; font-variant: small-caps; } .mandatory_field::-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 19+ */ color: red; font-family: FontAwesome; font-variant: small-caps; } .mandatory_field:-ms-input-placeholder { /* IE 10+ */ color: red; font-family: FontAwesome; font-variant: small-caps; }
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/fontawesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> <input type="text" class="mandatory_field form-control" id="affiliation"> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
You can use a data
attribute to store the awesome font symbol you want and use it combined with the text $input.data('placeholder') + ' Mandatory field'
.
Code example:
var $input = $('#affiliation'), placeholder = $input.data('placeholder') + ' Mandatory field'; $input.attr('placeholder', placeholder);
.mandatory_field { font-family: FontAwesome,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
