Hide labels behind inputs on Bootstrap's horizontal forms, until the user starts to fill them up and it's then sliding on. Preferably for inputs with placeholders.
(function ($) {
'use strict';
$.fn.bsPeekabooLabel = function () {
var input = $(this),
control = input.closest('[class*="col-"]'),
label = control.siblings('.control-label'),
show = false,
place = function (d) {
var m;
if ($(control).css('float') === 'left') {
m = '0 0 0 ' + label.outerWidth() + 'px';
label.animate({ margin: show ? 0 : m, opacity: show ? 1 : 0 }, d);
control.animate({ margin: m }, d);
} else {
label.animate({ margin: 0, opacity: 1 }, d);
control.animate({ margin: show ? label.outerHeight() + 'px 0 0' : 0 }, d);
}
};
label.css({ position: 'absolute' });
place(0);
input.keyup(function () {
if (show === !input.val()) {
show = !show;
place(400);
}
});
$(window).resize(function () { place(0); });
};
}(jQuery));
