Gireesh,

The place holder text can be formatted in the skin rule, unfortunately only the font color is exposed in the UI (as you can see in the screenshot below).  Fortunately there is a work around; under the covers the skin engine creates a css class called .placeholder but as I said the skinning engine only exposes the font color so you just need to go to the CSS tab of your skin and add a new stylesheet, in the stylesheet put the style below:

.placeholder

{

       font-style: italic;

}

Hi,

Thank you for your response, issue is resolved.

Could you please also provide solution to how we can format drop-down place holder text.

I want to format "Select" in below drop-down.

Thanks,

Gireesh.

Hi,

You can use the below styling:

<style>

select option {

    

    color:green;

  /*  background-color: lightblue;*/

}

select{

color:green;

}

</style>

You can modify the selectors  according to requirement and can use the code.
