title: Add Placeholder Text to a Text Field

## Add Placeholder Text to a Text Field
|
|
|
|
`placeholder` is an attribute, not a tag. It can be used together with the attribute `text` of the `input` tag to create a text to visualize when the input box is empty.
|
|
|
|
```HTML
|
|
<input type=text placeholder="This is a placeholder text">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're stuck check for these issues:
|
|
- you should add the `placeholder` attribute to the `input` tag already present in the code without removing anything; if by accident you removed or modified something remember that you can restart with a clean code by clicking `reset all code` button
|
|
- the syntax is the same of every attribute: `<tag attributeName="attributeValue" >` and the value to insert is indicated by the challenge's instructions (check for typos).
|
|
|
|
Good luck!
