Is it posible for input field to have one font-family and it's placeholder other?
I have tried to change font-family for input's placeholder with already defined @font-face in CSS but it's not working
CSS
.mainLoginInput::-webkit-input-placeholder {
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.mainLoginInput:-moz-placeholder {
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
HTML
<input class="mainLoginInput" type="text" placeholder="Username" />
How can I slove this problem?
In case someone want the placeholders selectors for all browsers :
.mainLoginInput::-webkit-input-placeholder {
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.mainLoginInput:-ms-input-placeholder {
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.mainLoginInput:-moz-placeholder {
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.mainLoginInput::-moz-placeholder {
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
Found it...
Prefix for Firefox 19+ users is ::-moz-placeholder
And the code looks like this
.mainLoginInput::-moz-placeholder {
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
Here is the complete use of ::placeholder
pseudo-element:
::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* Chrome/Opera/Safari */
color: pink;
}
::-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 19+ */
color: pink;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder { /* IE 10+ */
color: pink;
}
:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
color: pink;
}
All placeholders in Firefox have an opacity value applied to them, so in order to fix this we need to reset that value:
::-moz-placeholder {
opacity: 1;
}

Simply like this
.mainLoginInput::placeholder{
font-family: -Your font here-;
}
Use this for major browser support :
HTML:
<input type="text" placeholder="placeholder text.." class="mainLoginInput" />
CSS:
.mainLoginInput::placeholder { /* Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari 10.1+ */
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
opacity: 1; /* Firefox */
}
.mainLoginInput:-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.mainLoginInput::-ms-input-placeholder { /* Microsoft Edge */
font-family: 'myFont', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
