<input>: The HTML Input element - HTML

checkbox A check box allowing single values to be selected/deselected. color A control for specifying a color; opening a color picker when active in supporting browsers. date A control for entering a date (year, month, and day, with no time). Opens a date picker or numeric wheels for year, month, day when active in supporting browsers. datetime-local A control for entering a date and time, with no time zone. Opens a date picker or numeric wheels for date- and time-components when active in supporting browsers. email A field for editing an email address. Looks like a text input, but has validation parameters and relevant keyboard in supporting browsers and devices with dynamic keyboards. file A control that lets the user select a file. Use the accept attribute to define the types of files that the control can select. hidden A control that is not displayed but whose value is submitted to the server. There is an example in the next column, but it's hidden! image A graphical submit button. Displays an image defined by the src attribute. The alt attribute displays if the image src is missing. month A control for entering a month and year, with no time zone. number A control for entering a number. Displays a spinner and adds default validation. Displays a numeric keypad in some devices with dynamic keypads. password A single-line text field whose value is obscured. Will alert user if site is not secure. radio A radio button, allowing a single value to be selected out of multiple choices with the same name value. range A control for entering a number whose exact value is not important. Displays as a range widget defaulting to the middle value. Used in conjunction min and max to define the range of acceptable values. reset A button that resets the contents of the form to default values. Not recommended. search A single-line text field for entering search strings. Line-breaks are automatically removed from the input value. May include a delete icon in supporting browsers that can be used to clear the field. Displays a search icon instead of enter key on some devices with dynamic keypads. submit A button that submits the form. tel A control for entering a telephone number. Displays a telephone keypad in some devices with dynamic keypads. text The default value. A single-line text field. Line-breaks are automatically removed from the input value. time A control for entering a time value with no time zone. url A field for entering a URL. Looks like a text input, but has validation parameters and relevant keyboard in supporting browsers and devices with dynamic keyboards. week A control for entering a date consisting of a week-year number and a week number with no time zone. Obsolete values datetime Deprecated A control for entering a date and time (hour, minute, second, and fraction of a second) based on UTC time zone.

`Attributes`

The element is so powerful because of its attributes; the type attribute, described with examples above, being the most important. Since every element, regardless of type, is based on the HTMLInputElement interface, they technically share the exact same set of attributes. However, in reality, most attributes have an effect on only a specific subset of input types. In addition, the way some attributes impact an input depends on the input type, impacting different input types in different ways.

This section provides a table listing all the attributes with a brief description. This table is followed by a list describing each attribute in greater detail, along with which input types they are associated with. Those that are common to most or all input types are defined in greater detail below. Attributes that are unique to particular input types—or attributes which are common to all input types but have special behaviors when used on a given input type—are instead documented on those types' pages. Attributes for the element include the global HTML attributes and additionally: Attribute Type(s) Description accept file Hint for expected file type in file upload controls alt image alt attribute for the image type. Required for accessibility autocapitalize all except url, email, and password Controls automatic capitalization in inputted text. autocomplete all except checkbox, radio, and buttons Hint for form autofill feature capture file Media capture input method in file upload controls checked checkbox, radio Whether the command or control is checked dirname hidden, text, search, url, tel, email Name of form field to use for sending the element's directionality in form submission disabled all Whether the form control is disabled form all Associates the control with a form element formaction image, submit URL to use for form submission formenctype image, submit Form data set encoding type to use for form submission formmethod image, submit HTTP method to use for form submission formnovalidate image, submit Bypass form control validation for form submission formtarget image, submit Browsing context for form submission height image Same as height attribute for ; vertical dimension list all except hidden, password, checkbox, radio, and buttons Value of the id attribute of the of autocomplete options max date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range Maximum value maxlength text, search, url, tel, email, password Maximum length (number of characters) of value min date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range Minimum value minlength text, search, url, tel, email, password Minimum length (number of characters) of value multiple email, file Boolean.

When specified in the HTML, corresponds to the initial value width image Same as width attribute for A few additional non-standard attributes are listed following the descriptions of the standard attributes.

`Individual attributes`

accept: Valid for the file input type only, the accept attribute defines which file types are selectable in a file upload control. See the file input type.
alt: Valid for the image button only, the alt attribute provides alternative text for the image, displaying the value of the attribute if the image src is missing or otherwise fails to load. See the image input type.
autocapitalize: Controls whether inputted text is automatically capitalized and, if so, in what manner. See the autocapitalize global attribute page for more information.
autocomplete: (Not a Boolean attribute!) The autocomplete attribute takes as its value a space-separated string that describes what, if any, type of autocomplete functionality the input should provide. A typical implementation of autocomplete recalls previous values entered in the same input field, but more complex forms of autocomplete can exist. For instance, a browser could integrate with a device's contacts list to autocomplete email addresses in an email input field. See autocomplete for permitted values.

The autocomplete attribute is valid on hidden, text, search, url, tel, email, date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range, color, and password. This attribute has no effect on input types that do not return numeric or text data, being valid for all input types except checkbox, radio, file, or any of the button types.

See the autocomplete attribute for additional information, including information on password security and how autocomplete is slightly different for hidden than for other input types.
autofocus: A Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the input should automatically have focus when the page has finished loading (or when the
containing the element has been displayed).

Note: An element with the autofocus attribute may gain focus before the DOMContentLoaded event is fired.

No more than one element in the document may have the autofocus attribute. If put on more than one element, the first one with the attribute receives focus.

The autofocus attribute cannot be used on inputs of type hidden, since hidden inputs cannot be focused.

Warning: Automatically focusing a form control can confuse visually-impaired people using screen-reading technology and people with cognitive impairments. When autofocus is assigned, screen-readers "teleport" their user to the form control without warning them beforehand.

Use careful consideration for accessibility when applying the autofocus attribute. Automatically focusing on a control can cause the page to scroll on load. The focus can also cause dynamic keyboards to display on some touch devices. While a screen reader will announce the label of the form control receiving focus, the screen reader will not announce anything before the label, and the sighted user on a small device will equally miss the context created by the preceding content.
capture: Introduced in the HTML Media Capture specification and valid for the file input type only, the capture attribute defines which media—microphone, video, or camera—should be used to capture a new file for upload with file upload control in supporting scenarios. See the file input type.
checked: Valid for both radio and checkbox types, checked is a Boolean attribute. If present on a radio type, it indicates that the radio button is the currently selected one in the group of same-named radio buttons. If present on a checkbox type, it indicates that the checkbox is checked by default (when the page loads). It does not indicate whether this checkbox is currently checked: if the checkbox's state is changed, this content attribute does not reflect the change. (Only the HTMLInputElement's checked IDL attribute is updated.)

Note: Unlike other input controls, a checkboxes and radio buttons value are only included in the submitted data if they are currently checked. If they are, the name and the value(s) of the checked controls are submitted.

For example, if a checkbox whose name is fruit has a value of cherry, and the checkbox is checked, the form data submitted will include fruit=cherry. If the checkbox isn't active, it isn't listed in the form data at all. The default value for checkboxes and radio buttons is on.
dirname: Valid for hidden, text, search, url, tel, and email input types, the dirname attribute enables the submission of the directionality of the element. When included, the form control will submit with two name/value pairs: the first being the name and value, and the second being the value of the dirname attribute as the name, with a value of ltr or rtl as set by the browser.

html
Fruit:

When the form above is submitted, the input cause both the name / value pair of fruit=cherry and the dirname / direction pair of fruit-dir=ltr to be sent. For more information, see the dirname attribute.
disabled: A Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the user should not be able to interact with the input. Disabled inputs are typically rendered with a dimmer color or using some other form of indication that the field is not available for use.

Specifically, disabled inputs do not receive the click event, and disabled inputs are not submitted with the form.

Note: Although not required by the specification, Firefox will by default persist the dynamic disabled state of an across page loads. Use the autocomplete attribute to control this feature.
form: A string specifying the
element with which the input is associated (that is, its form owner). This string's value, if present, must match the id of a element in the same document. If this attribute isn't specified, the element is associated with the nearest containing form, if any.

The form attribute lets you place an input anywhere in the document but have it included with a form elsewhere in the document.

Note: An input can only be associated with one form.
formaction: Valid for the image and submit input types only. See the submit input type for more information.
formenctype: Valid for the image and submit input types only. See the submit input type for more information.
formmethod: Valid for the image and submit input types only. See the submit input type for more information.
formnovalidate: Valid for the image and submit input types only. See the submit input type for more information.
formtarget: Valid for the image and submit input types only. See the submit input type for more information.
height: Valid for the image input button only, the height is the height of the image file to display to represent the graphical submit button. See the image input type.
id: Global attribute valid for all elements, including all the input types, it defines a unique identifier (ID) which must be unique in the whole document. Its purpose is to identify the element when linking. The value is used as the value of the 's for attribute to link the label with the form control. See .
inputmode: Global value valid for all elements, it provides a hint to browsers as to the type of virtual keyboard configuration to use when editing this element or its contents. Values include none, text, tel, url, email, numeric, decimal, and search.
list: The value given to the list attribute should be the id of a element located in the same document. The provides a list of predefined values to suggest to the user for this input. Any values in the list that are not compatible with the type are not included in the suggested options. The values provided are suggestions, not requirements: users can select from this predefined list or provide a different value.

It is valid on text, search, url, tel, email, date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range, and color.

Per the specifications, the list attribute is not supported by the hidden, password, checkbox, radio, file, or any of the button types.

Depending on the browser, the user may see a custom color palette suggested, tic marks along a range, or even an input that opens like a element of type hidden, the input's value is automatically set by the user agent to the character encoding being used to submit the form.
isindex: For historical reasons, the name isindex is not allowed.

The name attribute creates a unique behavior for radio buttons.

Only one radio button in a same-named group of radio buttons can be checked at a time. Selecting any radio button in that group automatically deselects any currently-selected radio button in the same group. The value of that one checked radio button is sent along with the name if the form is submitted,

When tabbing into a series of same-named group of radio buttons, if one is checked, that one will receive focus. If they aren't grouped together in source order, if one of the group is checked, tabbing into the group starts when the first one in the group is encountered, skipping all those that aren't checked. In other words, if one is checked, tabbing skips the unchecked radio buttons in the group. If none are checked, the radio button group receives focus when the first button in the same name group is reached.

Once one of the radio buttons in a group has focus, using the arrow keys will navigate through all the radio buttons of the same name, even if the radio buttons are not grouped together in the source order.

When an input element is given a name, that name becomes a property of the owning form element's HTMLFormElement.elements property. If you have an input whose name is set to guest and another whose name is hat-size, the following code can be used:

js
let form = document.querySelector("form"); let guestName = form.elements.guest; let hatSize = form.elements["hat-size"];

When this code has run, guestName will be the HTMLInputElement for the guest field, and hatSize the object for the hat-size field.

Warning: Avoid giving form elements a name that corresponds to a built-in property of the form, since you would then override the predefined property or method with this reference to the corresponding input.
pattern: Valid for text, search, url, tel, email, and password, the pattern attribute is used to compile a regular expression that the input's value must match in order for the value to pass constraint validation. It must be a valid JavaScript regular expression, as used by the RegExp type, and as documented in our guide on regular expressions. No forward slashes should be specified around the pattern text. When compiling the regular expression:

the pattern will be implicitly wrapped with ^(?: and )$, such that the match is required against the entire input value, i.e., ^(?:)$.

the 'v' flag is specified so that the pattern is treated as a sequence of Unicode code points, instead of as ASCII.

If the pattern attribute is present but is not specified or is invalid, no regular expression is applied and this attribute is ignored completely. If the pattern attribute is valid and a non-empty value does not match the pattern, constraint validation will prevent form submission. If the multiple is present, the compiled regular expression is matched against each comma separated value.

Note: If using the pattern attribute, inform the user about the expected format by including explanatory text nearby. You can also include a title attribute to explain what the requirements are to match the pattern; most browsers will display this title as a tooltip. The visible explanation is required for accessibility. The tooltip is an enhancement.

See Client-side validation for more information.
placeholder: Valid for text, search, url, tel, email, password, and number, the placeholder attribute provides a brief hint to the user as to what kind of information is expected in the field. It should be a word or short phrase that provides a hint as to the expected type of data, rather than an explanation or prompt. The text must not include carriage returns or line feeds. So for example if a field is expected to capture a user's first name, and its label is "First Name", a suitable placeholder might be "e.g., Mustafa".

Note: The placeholder attribute is not as semantically useful as other ways to explain your form, and can cause unexpected technical issues with your content. See Labels for more information.
popovertarget: Turns an element into a popover control button; takes the ID of the popover element to control as its value. See the Popover API landing page for more details. Establishing a relationship between a popover and its invoker button using the popovertarget attribute has two additional useful effects:

The browser creates an implicit aria-details and aria-expanded relationship between popover and invoker, and places the popover in a logical position in the keyboard focus navigation order when shown. This makes the popover more accessible to keyboard and assistive technology (AT) users (see also Popover accessibility features).

The browser creates an implicit anchor reference between the two, making it very convenient to position popovers relative to their controls using CSS anchor positioning. See Popover anchor positioning for more details.
popovertargetaction: Specifies the action to be performed on a popover element being controlled by a control . Possible values are:

"hide"

The button will hide a shown popover. If you try to hide an already hidden popover, no action will be taken.

"show"

The button will show a hidden popover. If you try to show an already showing popover, no action will be taken.

"toggle"

The button will toggle a popover between showing and hidden. If the popover is hidden, it will be shown; if the popover is showing, it will be hidden. If popovertargetaction is omitted, "toggle" is the default action that will be performed by the control button.
readonly: A Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the user should not be able to edit the value of the input. The readonly attribute is supported by the text, search, url, tel, email, date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, and password input types.

See the HTML attribute: readonly for more information.
required: required is a Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the user must specify a value for the input before the owning form can be submitted. The required attribute is supported by text, search, url, tel, email, date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, password, checkbox, radio, and file inputs.

See Client-side validation and the HTML attribute: required for more information.
size: Valid for email, password, tel, url, and text, the size attribute specifies how much of the input is shown. Basically creates same result as setting CSS width property with a few specialties. The actual unit of the value depends on the input type. For password and text, it is a number of characters (or em units) with a default value of 20, and for others, it is pixels (or px units). CSS width takes precedence over the size attribute.
src: Valid for the image input button only, the src is string specifying the URL of the image file to display to represent the graphical submit button. See the image input type.
step: Valid for date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, and range, the step attribute is a number that specifies the granularity that the value must adhere to.

If not explicitly included:

step defaults to 1 for number and range.

Each date/time input type has a default step value appropriate for the type; see the individual input pages: date, datetime-local, month, time, and week.

The value must be a positive number—integer or float—or the special value any, which means no stepping is implied, and any value is allowed (barring other constraints, such as min and max).

If any is not explicitly set, valid values for the number, date/time input types, and range input types are equal to the basis for stepping — the min value and increments of the step value, up to the max value, if specified.

For example, if you have , then any even integer, 10 or greater, is valid. If omitted, , any integer is valid, but floats (like 4.2) are not valid, because step defaults to 1. For 4.2 to be valid, step would have had to be set to any, 0.1, 0.2, or the min value would have had to be a number ending in .2, such as .

Note: When the data entered by the user doesn't adhere to the stepping configuration, the value is considered invalid in constraint validation and will match the :invalid pseudoclass.

See Client-side validation for more information.
tabindex: Global attribute valid for all elements, including all the input types, an integer attribute indicating if the element can take input focus (is focusable), if it should participate to sequential keyboard navigation. As all input types except for input of type hidden are focusable, this attribute should not be used on form controls, because doing so would require the management of the focus order for all elements within the document with the risk of harming usability and accessibility if done incorrectly.
title: Global attribute valid for all elements, including all input types, containing a text representing advisory information related to the element it belongs to. Such information can typically, but not necessarily, be presented to the user as a tooltip. The title should NOT be used as the primary explanation of the purpose of the form control. Instead, use the element with a for attribute set to the form control's id attribute. See Labels below.
type: A string specifying the type of control to render. For example, to create a checkbox, a value of checkbox is used. If omitted (or an unknown value is specified), the input type text is used, creating a plaintext input field.

Permitted values are listed in Input types above.
value: The input control's value. When specified in the HTML, this is the initial value, and from then on it can be altered or retrieved at any time using JavaScript to access the respective HTMLInputElement object's value property. The value attribute is always optional, though should be considered mandatory for checkbox, radio, and hidden.
width: Valid for the image input button only, the width is the width of the image file to display to represent the graphical submit button. See the image input type.

`Non-standard attributes`

The following non-standard attributes are also available on some browsers. As a general rule, you should avoid using them unless it can't be helped.

Attribute Description incremental Whether or not to send repeated search events to allow updating live search results while the user is still editing the value of the field. WebKit and Blink only (Safari, Chrome, Opera, etc.). mozactionhint Deprecated A string indicating the type of action that will be taken when the user presses the Enter or Return key while editing the field; this is used to determine an appropriate label for that key on a virtual keyboard. Since this attribute is deprecated, use enterkeyhint instead. orient Sets the orientation of the range slider. Firefox only. results The maximum number of items that should be displayed in the drop-down list of previous search queries. Safari only. webkitdirectory A Boolean indicating whether to only allow the user to choose a directory (or directories, if multiple is also present) incremental Non-standard The Boolean attribute incremental is a WebKit and Blink extension (so supported by Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc.) which, if present, tells the user agent to process the input as a live search. As the user edits the value of the field, the user agent sends search events to the HTMLInputElement object representing the search box. This allows your code to update the search results in real time as the user edits the search. If incremental is not specified, the search event is only sent when the user explicitly initiates a search (such as by pressing the Enter or Return key while editing the field). The search event is rate-limited so that it is not sent more frequently than an implementation-defined interval. orient Non-standard Similar to the -moz-orient non-standard CSS property impacting the and elements, the orient attribute defines the orientation of the range slider. Values include horizontal, meaning the range is rendered horizontally, and vertical, where the range is rendered vertically. See Creating vertical form controls for a modern approach to creating vertical form controls. results Non-standard The results attribute—supported only by Safari—is a numeric value that lets you override the maximum number of entries to be displayed in the element's natively-provided drop-down menu of previous search queries. The value must be a non-negative decimal number. If not provided, or an invalid value is given, the browser's default maximum number of entries is used. webkitdirectory Non-standard The Boolean webkitdirectory attribute, if present, indicates that only directories should be available to be selected by the user in the file picker interface. See HTMLInputElement.webkitdirectory for additional details and examples. Though originally implemented only for WebKit-based browsers, webkitdirectory is also usable in Microsoft Edge as well as Firefox 50 and later. However, even though it has relatively broad support, it is still not standard and should not be used unless you have no alternative.

`Methods`

The following methods are provided by the HTMLInputElement interface which represents elements in the DOM. Also available are those methods specified by the parent interfaces, HTMLElement, Element, Node, and EventTarget.

checkValidity() Returns true if the element's value passes validity checks; otherwise, returns false and fires an invalid event at the element. reportValidity() Returns true if the element's value passes validity checks; otherwise, returns false, fires an invalid event at the element, and (if the event isn't canceled) reports the problem to the user. select() Selects the entire content of the element, if the element's content is selectable. For elements with no selectable text content (such as a visual color picker or calendar date input), this method does nothing. setCustomValidity() Sets a custom message to display if the input element's value isn't valid. setRangeText() Sets the contents of the specified range of characters in the input element to a given string. A selectMode parameter is available to allow controlling how the existing content is affected. setSelectionRange() Selects the specified range of characters within a textual input element. Does nothing for inputs which aren't presented as text input fields. showPicker() Displays the browser picker for the input element that would normally be displayed when the element is selected, but triggered from a button press or other user interaction. stepDown() Decrements the value of a numeric input by one, by default, or by the specified number of units. stepUp() Increments the value of a numeric input by one or by the specified number of units.

`CSS`

Inputs, being replaced elements, have a few features not applicable to non form elements. There are CSS selectors that can specifically target form controls based on their UI features, also known as UI pseudo-classes. The input element can also be targeted by type with attribute selectors. There are some properties that are especially useful as well.

`UI pseudo-classes`

Pseudo-classes relevant to the element:
Pseudo-class	Description
`:enabled`	Any currently enabled element that can be activated (selected, clicked on, typed into, etc.) or accept focus and also has a disabled state, in which it can't be activated or accept focus.
`:disabled`	Any currently disabled element that has an enabled state, meaning it otherwise could be activated (selected, clicked on, typed into, etc.) or accept focus were it not disabled.
`:read-only`	Element not editable by the user
`:read-write`	Element that is editable by the user.

Having the prompt part of the activation area for the input is helpful for people with motor control conditions.</p> <p>As web developers, it's important that we never assume that people will know all the things that we know.

The placeholder should never be required to understand your forms. It is not a label, and should not be used as a substitute, because it isn't.

Inside this function we work out whether the value is invalid because it is empty, or because it doesn't match the pattern, using an <code>if ()</code> block, and set a custom validity error message.</li> <li>As a result, if the input value is invalid when the submit button is pressed, one of the custom error messages will be shown.</li> <li>If it is valid, it will submit as you'd expect. For this to happen, the custom validity has to be cancelled, by invoking <code>setCustomValidity()</code> with an empty string value. We therefore do this every time the <code>input</code> event is raised. If you don't do this, and a custom validity was previously set, the input will register as invalid, even if it currently contains a valid value on submission.</li> </ul> <div class="notecard note"> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Always validate input constraints both client side and server side.

See <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/autocomplete#value\"><code>autocomplete for permitted values.\n<p>The <code>autocomplete attribute is valid on <code>hidden, <code>text, <code>search, <code>url, <code>tel, <code>email, <code>date, <code>month, <code>week, <code>time, <code>datetime-local, <code>number, <code>range, <code>color, and <code>password. This attribute has no effect on input types that do not return numeric or text data, being valid for all input types except <code>checkbox, <code>radio, <code>file, or any of the button types.\n<p>See the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/autocomplete\"><code>autocomplete attribute for additional information, including information on password security and how <code>autocomplete is slightly different for <code>hidden than for other input types.\n\n<dt id=\"autofocus\"><a href=\"#autofocus\"><code>autofocus\n<dd>\n<p>A Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the input should automatically have focus when the page has finished loading (or when the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/dialog\"><code><dialog> containing the element has been displayed).\n<div class=\"notecard note\">\n<p><strong>Note:\nAn element with the <code>autofocus attribute may gain focus before the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/DOMContentLoaded_event\" title=\"DOMContentLoaded\"><code>DOMContentLoaded event is fired.\n\n<p>No more than one element in the document may have the <code>autofocus attribute. If put on more than one element, the first one with the attribute receives focus.\n<p>The <code>autofocus attribute cannot be used on inputs of type <code>hidden, since hidden inputs cannot be focused.\n<div class=\"notecard warning\">\n<p><strong>Warning:\nAutomatically focusing a form control can confuse visually-impaired people using screen-reading technology and people with cognitive impairments. When <code>autofocus is assigned, screen-readers \"teleport\" their user to the form control without warning them beforehand.\n\n<p>Use careful consideration for accessibility when applying the <code>autofocus attribute. Automatically focusing on a control can cause the page to scroll on load. The focus can also cause dynamic keyboards to display on some touch devices. While a screen reader will announce the label of the form control receiving focus, the screen reader will not announce anything before the label, and the sighted user on a small device will equally miss the context created by the preceding content.\n\n<dt id=\"capture\"><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/capture\"><code>capture\n<dd>\n<p>Introduced in the HTML Media Capture specification and valid for the <code>file input type only, the <code>capture attribute defines which media—microphone, video, or camera—should be used to capture a new file for upload with <code>file upload control in supporting scenarios.

If present on a <code>radio type, it indicates that the radio button is the currently selected one in the group of same-named radio buttons. If present on a <code>checkbox type, it indicates that the checkbox is checked by default (when the page loads). It does <em>not indicate whether this checkbox is currently checked: if the checkbox's state is changed, this content attribute does not reflect the change. (Only the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement\"><code>HTMLInputElement's <code>checked IDL attribute is updated.)\n<div class=\"notecard note\">\n<p><strong>Note:\nUnlike other input controls, a checkboxes and radio buttons value are only included in the submitted data if they are currently <code>checked. If they are, the name and the value(s) of the checked controls are submitted.\n<p>For example, if a checkbox whose <code>name is <code>fruit has a <code>value of <code>cherry, and the checkbox is checked, the form data submitted will include <code>fruit=cherry. If the checkbox isn't active, it isn't listed in the form data at all. The default <code>value for checkboxes and radio buttons is <code>on.\n\n\n<dt id=\"dirname\"><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/dirname\"><code>dirname\n<dd>\n<p>Valid for <code>hidden, <code>text, <code>search, <code>url, <code>tel, and <code>email input types, the <code>dirname attribute enables the submission of the directionality of the element. When included, the form control will submit with two name/value pairs: the first being the <a href=\"#name\"><code>name and <a href=\"#value\"><code>value, and the second being the value of the <code>dirname attribute as the name, with a value of <code>ltr or <code>rtl as set by the browser.\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">html<pre class=\"brush: html notranslate\"><code><form action=\"page.html\" method=\"post\">\n <label>\n Fruit:\n <input type=\"text\" name=\"fruit\" dirname=\"fruit-dir\" value=\"cherry\" />\n </label>\n <input type=\"submit\" />\n</form>\n<!-- page.html?fruit=cherry&fruit-dir=ltr -->\n\n<p>When the form above is submitted, the input cause both the <code>name / <code>value pair of <code>fruit=cherry and the <code>dirname / direction pair of <code>fruit-dir=ltr to be sent.\nFor more information, see the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/dirname\"><code>dirname attribute.\n\n<dt id=\"disabled\"><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/disabled\"><code>disabled\n<dd>\n<p>A Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the user should not be able to interact with the input. Disabled inputs are typically rendered with a dimmer color or using some other form of indication that the field is not available for use.\n<p>Specifically, disabled inputs do not receive the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/click_event\" title=\"click\"><code>click event, and disabled inputs are not submitted with the form.\n<div class=\"notecard note\">\n<p><strong>Note:\nAlthough not required by the specification, Firefox will by default <a href=\"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5985839/bug-with-firefox-disabled-attribute-of-input-not-resetting-when-refreshing\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">persist the dynamic disabled state of an <code><input> across page loads.

If the <code>min attribute is valid and a non-empty value is less than the minimum allowed by the <code>min attribute, constraint validation will prevent form submission. See <a href=\"#client-side_validation\">Client-side validation for more information.\n<p>There is a special case: if the data type is periodic (such as for dates or times), the value of <code>max may be lower than the value of <code>min, which indicates that the range may wrap around; for example, this allows you to specify a time range from 10 PM to 4 AM.\n\n<dt id=\"minlength\"><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/minlength\"><code>minlength\n<dd>\n<p>Valid for <code>text, <code>search, <code>url, <code>tel, <code>email, and <code>password, it defines the minimum string length (measured in UTF-16 code units) that the user can enter into the entry field. This must be a non-negative integer value smaller than or equal to the value specified by <code>maxlength. If no <code>minlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the input has no minimum length.\n<p>The input will fail <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Guides/Constraint_validation\">constraint validation if the length of the text entered into the field is fewer than <code>minlength UTF-16 code units long, preventing form submission.

If an input has no <code>name specified, or <code>name is empty, the input's value is not submitted with the form! (Disabled controls, unchecked radio buttons, unchecked checkboxes, and reset buttons are also not sent.)\n<p>There are two special cases:\n<ol>\n<li><code>_charset_ : If used as the name of an <code><input> element of type <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/input/hidden\">hidden, the input's <code>value is automatically set by the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Glossary/User_agent\">user agent to the character encoding being used to submit the form.\n<li><code>isindex: For historical reasons, the name <a href=\"https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fe-name\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><code>isindex is not allowed.\n\n<p>The <a href=\"#name\"><code>name attribute creates a unique behavior for radio buttons.\n<p>Only one radio button in a same-named group of radio buttons can be checked at a time. Selecting any radio button in that group automatically deselects any currently-selected radio button in the same group. The value of that one checked radio button is sent along with the name if the form is submitted,\n<p>When tabbing into a series of same-named group of radio buttons, if one is checked, that one will receive focus. If they aren't grouped together in source order, if one of the group is checked, tabbing into the group starts when the first one in the group is encountered, skipping all those that aren't checked. In other words, if one is checked, tabbing skips the unchecked radio buttons in the group. If none are checked, the radio button group receives focus when the first button in the same name group is reached.\n<p>Once one of the radio buttons in a group has focus, using the arrow keys will navigate through all the radio buttons of the same name, even if the radio buttons are not grouped together in the source order.\n<p>When an input element is given a <code>name, that name becomes a property of the owning form element's <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement/elements\"><code>HTMLFormElement.elements property. If you have an input whose <code>name is set to <code>guest and another whose <code>name is <code>hat-size, the following code can be used:\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">js<pre class=\"brush: js notranslate\"><code>let form = document.querySelector(\"form\");\n\nlet guestName = form.elements.guest;\nlet hatSize = form.elements[\"hat-size\"];\n\n<p>When this code has run, <code>guestName will be the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement\"><code>HTMLInputElement for the <code>guest field, and <code>hatSize the object for the <code>hat-size field.\n<div class=\"notecard warning\">\n<p><strong>Warning:\nAvoid giving form elements a <code>name that corresponds to a built-in property of the form, since you would then override the predefined property or method with this reference to the corresponding input.\n\n\n<dt id=\"pattern\"><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/pattern\"><code>pattern\n<dd>\n<p>Valid for <code>text, <code>search, <code>url, <code>tel, <code>email, and <code>password, the <code>pattern attribute is used to compile a regular expression that the input's <a href=\"#value\"><code>value must match in order for the value to pass <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Guides/Constraint_validation\">constraint validation. It must be a valid JavaScript regular expression, as used by the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp\"><code>RegExp type, and as documented in our <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_expressions\">guide on regular expressions. No forward slashes should be specified around the pattern text. When compiling the regular expression:\n<ol>\n<li>the pattern will be implicitly wrapped with <code>^(?: and <code>)$, such that the match is required against the <em>entire input value, i.e., <code>^(?:<pattern>)$.\n<li>the <code>'v' flag is specified so that the pattern is treated as a sequence of Unicode code points, instead of as <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Glossary/ASCII\">ASCII.\n\n<p>If the <code>pattern attribute is present but is not specified or is invalid, no regular expression is applied and this attribute is ignored completely. If the pattern attribute is valid and a non-empty value does not match the pattern, constraint validation will prevent form submission. If the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Attributes/multiple\"><code>multiple is present, the compiled regular expression is matched against each comma separated value.\n<div class=\"notecard note\">\n<p><strong>Note:\nIf using the <code>pattern attribute, inform the user about the expected format by including explanatory text nearby. You can also include a <a href=\"#title\"><code>title attribute to explain what the requirements are to match the pattern; most browsers will display this title as a tooltip.

Establishing a relationship between a popover and its invoker button using the <code>popovertarget attribute has two additional useful effects:\n<ul>\n<li>The browser creates an implicit <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Reference/Attributes/aria-details\"><code>aria-details and <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Reference/Attributes/aria-expanded\"><code>aria-expanded relationship between popover and invoker, and places the popover in a logical position in the keyboard focus navigation order when shown. This makes the popover more accessible to keyboard and assistive technology (AT) users (see also <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/Popover_API/Using#popover_accessibility_features\">Popover accessibility features).\n<li>The browser creates an implicit anchor reference between the two, making it very convenient to position popovers relative to their controls using <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_anchor_positioning\">CSS anchor positioning.

This is particularly useful for dates and times, such as when you want to allow the range to be from 8 PM to 8 AM:\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">html<pre class=\"brush: html notranslate\"><code><input type=\"time\" min=\"20:00\" max=\"08:00\" name=\"overnight\" />\n\n<p>Specific attributes and their values can lead to a specific error <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState\"><code>ValidityState:\n<figure class=\"table-container\"><table class=\"no-markdown\">\n <caption>\n Validity object errors depend on the <code><input>\n attributes and their values:\n \n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th scope=\"col\">Attribute\n <th scope=\"col\">Relevant property\n <th scope=\"col\">Description\n \n \n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"#max\"><code>max\n <td><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState/rangeOverflow\"><code>validityState.rangeOverflow\n <td>\n Occurs when the value is greater than the maximum value as defined by\n the <code>max attribute\n \n \n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"#maxlength\"><code>maxlength\n <td><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState/tooLong\"><code>validityState.tooLong\n <td>\n Occurs when the number of characters is greater than the number allowed by the <code>maxlength property\n \n \n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"#min\"><code>min\n <td><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState/rangeUnderflow\"><code>validityState.rangeUnderflow\n <td>\n Occurs when the value is less than the minimum value as defined by the <code>min attribute\n \n \n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"#minlength\"><code>minlength\n <td><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState/tooShort\"><code>validityState.tooShort\n <td>\n Occurs when the number of characters is less than the number required by the <code>minlength property\n \n \n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"#pattern\"><code>pattern\n <td><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState/patternMismatch\"><code>validityState.patternMismatch\n <td>\n Occurs when a pattern attribute is included with a valid regular expression and the <code>value does not match it.\n \n \n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"#required\"><code>required\n <td><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState/valueMissing\"><code>validityState.valueMissing\n <td>\n Occurs when the <code>required attribute is present but the value is <code>null or radio or checkbox is not checked.\n \n \n <tr>\n <td><a href=\"#step\"><code>step\n <td><a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState/stepMismatch\"><code>validityState.stepMismatch\n <td>\n The value doesn't match the step increment.

A word of caution: if a custom error is set to a truthy value (anything other than the empty string or <code>null), the form will be prevented from being submitted.

If the user makes an error, and the validity is set, it will fail to submit, even if all the values are valid, until the message is <code>null.\n<h4 id=\"custom_validation_error_example\">Custom validation error example\n<p>If you want to present a custom error message when a field fails to validate, you need to use the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Extensions/Forms/Form_validation#validating_forms_using_javascript\">Constraint Validation API available on <code><input> (and related) elements. Take the following form:\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">html<pre class=\"brush: html notranslate live-sample---custom_validation_error_example\"><code><form>\n <label for=\"name\">Enter username (upper and lowercase letters): </label>\n <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" id=\"name\" required pattern=\"[A-Za-z]+\" />\n <button>Submit</button>\n</form>\n\n<p>The basic HTML form validation features will cause this to produce a default error message if you try to submit the form with either no valid filled in, or a value that does not match the <code>pattern.\n<p>If you wanted to instead display custom error messages, you could use JavaScript like the following:\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><span class=\"language-name\">js<pre class=\"brush: js notranslate live-sample---custom_validation_error_example\"><code>const nameInput = document.querySelector(\"input\");\n\nnameInput.addEventListener(\"input\", () => {\n nameInput.setCustomValidity(\"\");\n nameInput.checkValidity();\n});\n\nnameInput.addEventListener(\"invalid\", () => {\n if (nameInput.value === \"\") {\n nameInput.setCustomValidity(\"Enter your username!\");\n } else {\n nameInput.setCustomValidity(\n \"Usernames can only contain upper and lowercase letters. Try again!\",\n );\n }\n});\n\n<p>The example renders like so:\n<div class=\"code-example\"><div class=\"example-header\"><iframe class=\"sample-code-frame\" title=\"Custom validation error example sample\" id=\"frame_custom_validation_error_example\" src=\"about:blank\" data-live-path=\"/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/input/\" data-live-id=\"custom_validation_error_example\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<p>In brief:\n<ul>\n<li>We check the valid state of the input element every time its value is changed by running the <code>checkValidity() method via the <code>input event handler.\n<li>If the value is invalid, an <code>invalid event is raised, and the <code>invalid event handler function is run. Inside this function we work out whether the value is invalid because it is empty, or because it doesn't match the pattern, using an <code>if () block, and set a custom validity error message.\n<li>As a result, if the input value is invalid when the submit button is pressed, one of the custom error messages will be shown.\n<li>If it is valid, it will submit as you'd expect. For this to happen, the custom validity has to be cancelled, by invoking <code>setCustomValidity() with an empty string value. We therefore do this every time the <code>input event is raised. If you don't do this, and a custom validity was previously set, the input will register as invalid, even if it currently contains a valid value on submission.\n\n<div class=\"notecard note\">\n<p><strong>Note:\nAlways validate input constraints both client side and server side. Constraint validation doesn't remove the need for validation on the <em>server side. Invalid values can still be sent by older browsers or by bad actors.\n\n<div class=\"notecard note\">\n<p><strong>Note:\nFirefox supported a proprietary error attribute — <code>x-moz-errormessage — for many versions, which allowed you set custom error messages in a similar way.
