States
Depending on the action you want to imply through its appearance, the Telerik and Kendo UI PromptBox can acquire and can be rendered in the following states:
- A PromptBox in its normal state is active, but the user is not interacting with it. This is the default state of the component. It can contain an explanatory placeholder text or an already prefilled text.
k-hover—The hover state of a PromptBox is applied when the user hovers over the component but does not click it. The mouse pointer changes to indicate that you can type into the component.k-focus—The focus state of the PromptBox is triggered when the user navigates to the component by keyboard, voice, or mouse click. This state must highlight the PromptBox so that it covers all accessibility requirements.k-disabled—The disabled state of the PromptBox indicates that the user cannot interact with the component. When disabled, the component has no interactive behavior, it is faded out and slightly out of focus, which helps the user to distinguish it from the active elements on the page.
