Bootstrap 5 Form Floating Labels
Floating Labels / Animated Labels
By default, when using labels, they normally appear on top of the input field:
With floating labels, you can insert the label inside the input field, and make them float/animate when you click on the input field:
Example
<div class="form-floating mb-3 mt-3">
<input type="text"
class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Enter email" name="email">
<label for="email">Email</label>
</div>
<div class="form-floating
mt-3 mb-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="pwd"
placeholder="Enter password" name="pswd">
<label
for="pwd">Password</label>
</div>

Notes on floating labels: The
<label> elements must come after the <input> element, and the placeholder attribute
is required for each
<input> element (even though it is not shown).
Textarea
It also works for textareas:
Example
<div class="form-floating">
<textarea class="form-control"
id="comment" name="text" placeholder="Comment goes here"></textarea>
<label for="comment">Comments</label>
</div>

Select Menus
You can also use "floating-labels" on select menus. However, they will not float/get animated. The label will always appear in the top left corner, inside the select menu:
Example
<div class="form-floating">
<select class="form-select" id="sel1"
name="sellist">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
</select>
<label for="sel1"
class="form-label">Select list (select one):</label>
</div>
