The validity property of an input element contains a number of properties related to the validity of data:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| customError | Set to true, if a custom validity message is set. |
| patternMismatch | Set to true, if an element's value does not match its pattern attribute. |
| rangeOverflow | Set to true, if an element's value is greater than its max attribute. |
| rangeUnderflow | Set to true, if an element's value is less than its min attribute. |
| stepMismatch | Set to true, if an element's value is invalid per its step attribute. |
| tooLong | Set to true, if an element's value exceeds its maxLength attribute. |
| typeMismatch | Set to true, if an element's value is invalid per its type attribute. |
| valueMissing | Set to true, if an element (with a required attribute) has no value. |
| valid | Set to true, if an element's value is valid. |
Examples
If the number in an input field is greater than 100 (the input's max attribute), display a message:
The rangeOverflow Property
<input id="id1" type="number" max="100">
<button onclick="myFunction()">OK</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var txt = "";
if (document.getElementById("id1").validity.rangeOverflow) {
txt = "Value too large";
}
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = txt;
}
</script>
<button onclick="myFunction()">OK</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var txt = "";
if (document.getElementById("id1").validity.rangeOverflow) {
txt = "Value too large";
}
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = txt;
}
</script>
If the number in an input field is less than 100 (the input's min attribute), display a message:
The rangeUnderflow Property
<input id="id1" type="number" min="100">
<button onclick="myFunction()">OK</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var txt = "";
if (document.getElementById("id1").validity.rangeUnderflow) {
txt = "Value too small";
}
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = txt;
}
</script>
<button onclick="myFunction()">OK</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var txt = "";
if (document.getElementById("id1").validity.rangeUnderflow) {
txt = "Value too small";
}
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = txt;
}
</script>
