Bootstrap Floating Labels Example
Create beautifully simple form labels that float over your input fields.
Wrap a pair of <input class="form-control"> and <label> elements in .form-floating to enable floating labels with Bootstrap’s textual form fields. A placeholder is required on each <input> as our method of CSS-only floating labels uses the :placeholder-shown pseudo-element. Also note that the <input> must come first so we can utilize a sibling selector (e.g., ~).

Bootstrap Validation Styles Work
Bootstrap provides various validation styles to indicate error, success, and warning states for form controls.
You need to add the .is-invalid or .is-valid class to the form control element, depending on whether the input is invalid or valid.

Bootstrap Floating Lable Selects
Floating labels are only available on .form-selects. They work in the same way, but unlike <input>s , they’ll always show the <label> in its floated state.
Selects with size and multiple are not supported.
