I can’t guess what it is you are asking. Can you rephrase or give examples or pictures of what you are doing?

You don’t have access to it like a DOM text node, so you can’t.

Why though, what’s the usecase? You’re not supposed to do anything fancy with them, they’re just a nice extra. And the placeholder is inaccessible, you’d generally use the label for the input to provide cues

I wanna something when user enter in placeholder then hide the char * or something but thanks.

Anything in the placeholder will disappear when a user enters the text anyway.

What you i think want is possibly doable, you can’t use a placeholder attribute though, you have a text node that sits over the top, and you’d use JavaScript to make it act the same as a placeholder. Gets very fiddly though, for little benefit
