    Hi all,

    While designing a form in html with CSS3, I came across a situation where I have to set the color of asterix sign which was a part of placeholder in textbox input type and to do that with CSS3, I used to following block of code:

    in html, we have :

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <title>My Page
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        Enter Name : <input type="text" placeholder="Enter your full name"/>
    </div>
</body>
v/html>

    and in CSS we had :

    body {
    font-family: "calibri", Garamond, 'Comic Sans';
    color:white;
}

.container{    
    background-color:gray;
    padding:8px 30px;
    margin:0 auto;
    margin-top:5px !important;
    display:inline-block;
    position:absolute;
    left:27%;
}
input::-webkit-input-placeholder:after {
    content:'*';
    color: #007f80;
}

input:-moz-placeholder :after{ 
   content:'*';
    color: #007f80;
}
