The checkValidity()
method of the HTMLInputElement
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 <input>
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 HTMLInputElement.setCustomValidity()
method to set the HTMLInputElement.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
.
We include a form containing a required number field and two buttons: one to check the form and the other to submit it.
<form action="#" method="post">
<p>
<label for="age">Your (21 to 65) </label>
<input type="number" name="age" required id="age" min="21" max="65" />
</p>
<p>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
<button type="button" id="check">checkValidity()</button>
</p>
<p id="log"></p>
</form>
JavaScript
const output = document.querySelector("#log");
const checkButton = document.querySelector("#check");
const ageInput = document.querySelector("#age");
ageInput.addEventListener("invalid", () => {
console.log("Invalid event fired.");
});
checkButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
const checkVal = ageInput.checkValidity();
output.innerHTML = `checkValidity returned: ${checkVal}`;
});
Results
When false
, if the value is missing, below 21, above 65, or otherwise invalid, the invalid event will be logged to the console. To report the error to the user, use HTMLInputElement.reportValidity()
instead.
