Floating Label Overview
The Floating Label component is a user interface (UI) element that floats above the associated field when that field is focused or has user input. It provides an interactive and space-efficient way to display labels in forms as the labels move out of the way when the user engages with the field. This allows for a cleaner and more streamlined form layout, enhancing the overall user experience and reducing visual clutter.
By default, the Floating Label can be set as part of the Telerik and Kendo UI Form component. Custom components that do not contain form element would require setting additional properties.
