How can I render raw HTML in the Placeholder for an SfTextBox

[Chuck Richardson]

Hello,

I am trying to show the accesskey as underlined by applying a style to the Placeholder text as follows:

<SfTextBox @bind-Value="@name"

                                   Placeholder="<span class='button__accesskey''>N</span>ame"

                                   accesskey="n"

                                   FloatLabelType="FloatLabelType.Always"

                                   ShowClearButton="true" />

However, the component renders the Placeholder text as a literal string. If I try to cast the string to MarkupText I get an error when compiling saying that it can't be converted to a string.

Please advise how I can include HTML in the Placeholder property.

Thanks,

Chuck

Hi Chuck, 

By default, the placeholder property is string type it cannot accept the markup string. We have compared with native Blazor InputText and the native TextBox also have same behaviour. Please find the sample below for reference.
