Input group

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

Floating label (placeholder text)

The JavaScript TextBox control floats placeholder text at the top of the input box with an animation when the input receives focus or has a value. The floating label ensures that the input value and label are always visible.

Input validation with HTML forms

The Text Box in JS validates the input value and applies corresponding validation styles for success, error, and warning states, which are used in most standard HTML forms.

Get and set text box value

Easily set or retrieve the value in the JavaScript Text Box control to process it. Enable the clear button to allow users to reset the input value.

Right-to-left (RTL) rendering

The JavaScript TextBox control supports right-to-left (RTL) rendering. Users can change the text direction and layout from right to left. This improves user experience and accessibility for users of RTL languages.
