HTML5, Placeholder, line-height in Webkit

Question

I have an input field:

with styles:

input {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0         


        

Answer 1

Looking at your tags, I'm assuming you are writing something like...

Unfortunately, Chrome ties your hands when it comes to styling the placeholder, the selector looks like this...

input::-webkit-input-placeholder {}

You can find the styling options, gotchas and supported browsers in Styling the HTML Placeholder
