I am using material design lite and my input box has following code:
<div #textfield class="mdl-textfield mdl-js-textfield">
<textarea rows="4" class="my-input mdl-textfield__input" type="text" id="user-desc" [ngModel]="short_story" (ngModelChange)="getShortStory($event)"></textarea>
<label class="my-label mdl-textfield__label" for="user-desc">That's my short story!</label>
</div>
When I get data from my server and is bound to the input box, the label is still visible in the background. How to hide/remove it in such cases. If I start typing, it goes away, but initially it does not good at all.
