Hi. Is it possible to give a value for the placeholder? i would prefer if the "please choose" would be formatted like the placeholder in grey not in black. Thanks

Hi,

You can easily change the value of the placeholder inside input attributes:
<input placeholder="Your value" type="text" id="form5" class="form-control">

You can also change it's style like this:

input[type=text]::placeholder {
  color: black;
}
.md-form label {
  color: black;
}

Regards

Thanks for your answer. Probably my question was not clear though. The MDB select looks like this in the HTML: <pre><select class="mdb-select"> <option value="" disabled selected>please choose</option> <option value="">aaaa</option> ... </select></pre> The Code in the browser looks like this: <pre><div class="select-wrapper mdb-select initialized"><span class="caret">▼</span> <input type="text" class="select-dropdown" readonly="true" data-activates="select-options-31ce51dc-b839-12ef-8336-cf51e4dbabe1" value="please choose"> <ul id="select-options-31ce51dc-b839-12ef-8336-cf51e4dbabe1" class="dropdown-content select-dropdown" style="width: 480px; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; opacity: 1; display: none;"> <li class="disabled"><span>please choose</span></li> <li class=""><span>aaaa</span></li> ... </ul> <select class="mdb-select initialized"> <option value="" disabled="" selected="">please choose</option> <option value="">aaaa</option> ... </select> </div></pre>   I would like the "please choose" to appear in the placeholder instead of the value: <pre> <input type="text" class="select-dropdown" readonly="true" data-activates="select-options-31ce51dc-b839-12ef-8336-cf51e4dbabe1" placeholder="please choose"></pre>

Unfortunately there is no way to put placeholder into mdb-select. Regards
