3 New UI Patterns: Dynamic Input Hints, Always Visible Input Hints & Input Prompt

We spent our Easter writing three new design patterns. These patterns tell you how to provide help on Web forms. 

Dynamic Input Hints

Dynamic Input Hints are instructional texts or examples that are shown when a user clicks or tabs to an input field.

Always Visible Input Hints

Like the name suggests, Always Visible Input Hints are always visible instead of hiding them until people feel they need them.


Input Prompt

Input Prompt is an info text placed inside a text box.

Like always, feedback is very welcome!
