The checkValidity()
method of the HTMLSelectElement
interface returns a boolean value which indicates if the element meets any constraint validation rules applied to it. If false, the method also fires an invalid
event on the element. Because there's no default browser behavior for checkValidity()
, canceling this invalid
event has no effect.
Note: An HTML <select>
element with a non-null validationMessage
is considered invalid, will match the CSS :invalid
pseudo-class, and will cause checkValidity()
to return false. Use the HTMLSelectElement.setCustomValidity()
method to set the HTMLSelectElement.validationMessage
to the empty string to set the validity
state to be valid.
None.
Return valueReturns true
if the element's value has no validity problems; otherwise, returns false
.
In the following example, calling checkValidity()
returns either true
or false
.
const element = document.getElementById("mySelect");
console.log(element.checkValidity());
