How to have an image placeholder in angularjs

Question

I have a search input box and currently when it is not selected it shows Search here but instead of text can I have an image?

Answer 1

You can do it directly using css

input#autoComplete {
    background-image: url(https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/hawcons/32/698627-icon-111-search-16.png);
    background-position: 10px center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    -ms-border-radius: 4px;
    -o-border-radius: 4px;
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: 10px 5px;
    text-indent: 20px;
    -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;
    -moz-transition: all 2s;
    transition: all 0.2s;
}
input#autoComplete:focus {
    background-position: -20px center;
    text-indent: 0;
}

In case if you want text also do not remove placeholder="Search" from your input
