Menu
I have the following HTML and CSS code and the output. When I click the input boxes I want my cursor to be exactly just on the left of the placeholder text. But when I click the input the box the cursor shows up at the very start of the the input box. How can i align the cursor to the placeholder starting character on focus. Thanks

You can use text-indent property.
input.form-control {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
text-indent: 30px;
}

Or just set some padding-left for it.
input.form-control {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
padding-left: 30px;
}

You may add:
input.form-control {
width: 100%;
padding-left: 55px;
}
and remove .form-control::-webkit-input-placeholder.
