I want to use empty message of chosenbox with a diferent styling of the user input, but there is no css class to distinguish both. Here is one image of what I need to do: h**p://i61.tinypic.com/2zsbhw0.png

Zk Team, can you extend the chosenbox to allow this behavior? If not, how I can archive this behavior?

Thanks a lot,

Waiting for one reply,

Hello eclipse2,

You could extend the chosenbox and create your own implementation as you can see at the following url:

http://forum.zkoss.org/question/91906/extend-the-chosenbox-component/

Futhermore at the following url you can find more information on Extending and Customizing a ZK Component as a Separate Component:

Best Regards,

I made one trick that can simulate the placeholder using css.

.z-chosenbox {
&-input {
    .fontStyle (@baseContentFontFamily , @fontSizeMedium , normal , @colorInputTextColorPlaceholder);
    font-style: italic;
    &:focus {
        .fontStyle (@baseContentFontFamily , @fontSizeMedium , normal , @baseTextColor);
        font-style: normal;
    }
}}

On loose focus, the default behavior of ZK is delete in wrong text placed by user. What I do is add the italic styling has one placeholder, and on focus remove the placeholder styling.
