The validity
read-only property of the HTMLButtonElement
interface returns a ValidityState
object that represents the validity states this element is in.
A ValidityState
object.
The following example demonstrates that a <button>
is in an invalid state when a customError
is set; in this state, the validityState
's validity
property is false
, while checkValidity()
returns true
if the button's type
is not "submit"
, because such buttons are not candidates for constraint validation.
const button = document.getElementById("myButton");
button.setCustomValidity("This button is invalid.");
const validityState = button.validity;
console.log(validityState.valid); // false
console.log(validityState.customError); // true
console.log(button.checkValidity()); // false if the button is of the "submit" type, true otherwise
