How to add 2nd floating label to input when using 1 div only in bootstrap 5

How can i add a 2nd floating label to the right input field? the problem now is that the 2nd label overlaps the first label in the 1st input field:

<div class="form-floating input-group">                         
    <input type="text" name="" class="form-control delete-from-date" value="" />
    <label for="floatingDateToDelete">startdate</label>
    <span class="input-group-text">till</span>                          
    <input type="text" name="" class="form-control delete-till-date" value="" />
    <label for="floatingDateToDelete">Enddate</label>   
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger delete-multiple-events" name="submit">Delete</button>               
</div>

here is a fiddle you can see the issue: http://jsfiddle.net/1uf0zv2d/6/

The floating label "Enddate" should occur in the right input field

Solution

  • Each input+label combo needs to be within its own .form-floating class. Having multiple inputs in the same div was causing that issue. Also, a placeholder is required on each input field.

    I've moved the entire combo into a container that has .input-group on it. You can look at the changes here.
