Floating label
The label sits inside the field and floats up on focus or when it has a value. The input needs a placeholder, a single space is enough.
Example
<div class="grid gap-3 max-w-sm">
<label class="floating-label">
<input type="email" class="input" placeholder="you@example.com">
<span>Email address</span>
</label>
<label class="floating-label">
<input class="input" placeholder=" " value="Mo the red panda">
<span>Full name</span>
</label>
</div>Classes
1 classes. Click a name to copy it. Utilities on the same element always win over component defaults, so any of them can be adjusted with plain utility classes.
| Class | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Base class of the floating label. On a <label> in the example. Sets block display, padding, absolute position, offsets, width and overflow, and --field-h.CSS |
Usage
Components ship inside the same stylesheet as the utilities. There is nothing else to install and no script to load: link Monsoon and write the markup.

<!-- Floating label: start from the base class, then add modifiers -->
<div class="grid gap-3 max-w-sm">
<label class="floating-label">
<input type="email" class="input" placeholder="you@example.com">
<span>Email address</span>
</label>
<label class="floating-label">
<input class="input" placeholder=" " value="Mo the red panda">
<span>Full name</span>
</label>
</div>Theme it with --seed on any ancestor, for example style="--seed: #0d9488", and force a scheme with class="dark" or class="light" on a wrapper.
Accessibility
- Give every control a visible
labellinked withfor, or anaria-labelwhen the purpose is obvious from context. Link help and error text witharia-describedby; invalid styles use:user-invalid, so they appear only after the user interacts. - Every interactive part shows a visible focus ring with
:focus-visible, and tone colors pair with-foregroundtokens that keep text at 4.5:1 or better in light and dark mode.
