Answer 1

You can try the below code. It only uses HTML and CSS and does not reply on Javascript or component libraries:

.text-field {
        position: relative;
        margin: 10px 2.5px 20px 2.5px;
    }

input {
        display: inline-block;
        border: thin solid #fafafa;
        border-bottom: solid medium #999;
        color: #444;
        background-color: #fafafa;
        padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
        border-top-left-radius: 10px;
        border-top-right-radius: 10px;
    }

    input:focus {
            border: thin solid #32cd32;
            border-bottom: solid medium #32cd32;
            background-color:#fff;
        }

label {
        color: #999;
        position: absolute;
        pointer-events: none;
        left: 10px;
        top: 10px;
        transition: 0.2s;
    }

input:focus ~ label, input:valid ~ label {
        top: -10px;
        left: 15px;
        font-size: small;
        color: #32cd32;
        background-color:#fff;
        padding:0 5px 0 5px;
    }

                
                Input field 1
            

            

                
                Input field 2
