<p>So I wanted to have some floating labels and was looking at all of the plugins that existed out there (more than I thought), but was unhappy with them all. Them seems to rely javascript to do the heavy lifting. This bothered me because I knew there had to be an easier way to handle this.</p>
<p><strong>PS:</strong> The reason I default the <code>data-value</code> to <code>no-js</code> is because this always the label to show up incase the user has javascript disabled.</p>
<p><strong>PSS:</strong> I do not know all of the standards when it comes to using jQuery and chaining, so if my code is wrong or shouldn't be written the way it is please let me know.</p>
