Hi I'm triyng to use subscript characteres into the placeholder of the html input tag.

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="fi2" placeholder="Installed Power kW<sub>p</sub>">

But i got this: Installed Power kW<sub>p</sub>

If I use for example a supercript (sup) everyhing works well...

Any help?

Best regards, Daniel

you need some font linked in the webpage that contains subscript p (the fonts are listed on the website cited up), and after, write:

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="fi2">
<script>
    var placeholderText = 'Installed Power kW\u209A';
    $("#fi2").attr('placeholder', placeholderText);
</script>

That's not possible. HTML attributes cannot have HTML markup inside them.

You'd have to use a <label> instead.

And FYI, here's the MDN site says about the use of placeholder:

Do not use the placeholder attribute instead of a element. Their purposes are different: the attribute describes the role of the form element; that is, it indicates what kind of information is expected, the placeholder attribute is a hint about the format the content should take. There are cases in which the placeholder attribute is never displayed to the user, so the form must be understandable without it.

I suggest just copy/pasting a subscript char. It sure isn’t a long-term or efficient answer, but it should be adequate for your situation.
