Html код строки ввода

The value attribute is a string that contains the current value of the text entered into the text field. You can retrieve this using the HTMLInputElement value property in JavaScript.

let theText = myTextInput.value;

If no validation constraints are in place for the input (see Validation for more details), the value may be an empty string ( «» ).

Additional attributes

list

The values of the list attribute is 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.

maxlength

The maximum string length (measured in UTF-16 code units) that the user can enter into the text input. This must be an integer value of 0 or higher. If no maxlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the text input has no maximum length. This value must also be greater than or equal to the value of minlength .

The input will fail constraint validation if the length of the text value of the field is greater than maxlength UTF-16 code units long. Constraint validation is only applied when the value is changed by the user.

minlength

The minimum string length (measured in UTF-16 code units) that the user can enter into the text input. This must be a non-negative integer value smaller than or equal to the value specified by maxlength . If no minlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the text input has no minimum length.

The input will fail constraint validation if the length of the text entered into the field is fewer than minlength UTF-16 code units long. Constraint validation is only applied when the value is changed by the user.

pattern

The pattern attribute, when specified, is a regular expression that the input’s value must match 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; the ‘u’ flag is specified when compiling the regular expression so that the pattern is treated as a sequence of Unicode code points, instead of as ASCII. No forward slashes should be specified around the pattern text.

If the specified pattern is not specified or is invalid, no regular expression is applied and this attribute is ignored completely.

Note: Use the title attribute to specify text that most browsers will display as a tooltip to explain what the requirements are to match the pattern. You should also include other explanatory text nearby.

See Specifying a pattern for further details and an example.

placeholder

The placeholder attribute is a string that 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 demonstrates the expected type of data, rather than an explanatory message. The text must not include carriage returns or line feeds.

If the control’s content has one directionality (LTR or RTL) but needs to present the placeholder in the opposite directionality, you can use Unicode bidirectional algorithm formatting characters to override directionality within the placeholder; see How to use Unicode controls for bidi text for more information.

Note: Avoid using the placeholder attribute if you can. It is not as semantically useful as other ways to explain your form, and can cause unexpected technical issues with your content. See accessibility concerns for more information.

readonly

A Boolean attribute which, if present, means this field cannot be edited by the user. Its value can, however, still be changed by JavaScript code directly setting the HTMLInputElement value property.

Note: Because a read-only field cannot have a value, required does not have any effect on inputs with the readonly attribute also specified.

size

The size attribute is a numeric value indicating how many characters wide the input field should be. The value must be a number greater than zero, and the default value is 20. Since character widths vary, this may or may not be exact and should not be relied upon to be so; the resulting input may be narrower or wider than the specified number of characters, depending on the characters and the font ( font settings in use).

This does not set a limit on how many characters the user can enter into the field. It only specifies approximately how many can be seen at a time. To set an upper limit on the length of the input data, use the maxlength attribute.

spellcheck

spellcheck is a global attribute which is used to indicate whether to enable spell checking for an element. It can be used on any editable content, but here we consider specifics related to the use of spellcheck on elements. The permitted values for spellcheck are:

Disable spell checking for this element.

Enable spell checking for this element.

Follow the element’s default behavior for spell checking. This may be based upon a parent’s spellcheck setting or other factors.

An input field can have spell checking enabled if it doesn’t have the readonly attribute set and is not disabled.

The value returned by reading spellcheck may not reflect the actual state of spell checking within a control, if the user agent’s preferences override the setting.

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.

autocorrect

A Safari extension, the autocorrect attribute is a string which indicates whether to activate automatic correction while the user is editing this field. Permitted values are:

Enable automatic correction of typos, as well as processing of text substitutions if any are configured.

Disable automatic correction and text substitutions.

mozactionhint

A Mozilla extension, which provides a hint as to what sort of action will be taken if the user presses the Enter or Return key while editing the field.

This attribute has been deprecated: use the enterkeyhint global attribute instead.

Using text inputs

elements of type text create basic, single-line inputs. You should use them anywhere you want the user to enter a single-line value and there isn’t a more specific input type available for collecting that value (for example, if it’s a date, URL, email, or search term, you’ve got better options available).

Basic example

form> div> label for="uname">Choose a username: label> input type="text" id="uname" name="name" /> div> div> button>Submitbutton> div> form>

When submitted, the data name/value pair sent to the server will be name=Chris (if «Chris» was entered as the input value before submission). You must remember to include name attribute on the element, otherwise the text field’s value won’t be included with the submitted data.

Setting placeholders

You can provide a useful placeholder inside your text input that can provide a hint as to what to enter by including using the placeholder attribute. Look at the following example:

form> div> label for="uname">Choose a username: label> input type="text" id="uname" name="name" placeholder="Lower case, all one word" /> div> div> button>Submitbutton> div> form>

You can see how the placeholder is rendered below:

The placeholder is typically rendered in a lighter color than the element’s foreground color, and automatically vanishes when the user begins to enter text into the field (or whenever the field has a value set programmatically by setting its value attribute).

Physical input element size

The physical size of the input box can be controlled using the size attribute. With it, you can specify the number of characters the text input can display at a time. This affects the width of the element, letting you specify the width in terms of characters rather than pixels. In this example, for instance, the input is 30 characters wide:

form> div> label for="uname">Choose a username: label> input type="text" id="uname" name="name" placeholder="Lower case, all one word" size="30" /> div> div> button>Submitbutton> div> form>

Validation

elements of type text have no automatic validation applied to them (since a basic text input needs to be capable of accepting any arbitrary string), but there are some client-side validation options available, which we’ll discuss below.

Note: HTML form validation is not a substitute for server-scripts that ensure the entered data is in the proper format. It’s far too easy for someone to make adjustments to the HTML that allow them to bypass the validation, or to remove it entirely. It’s also possible for someone to bypass your HTML entirely and submit the data directly to your server. If your server-side code fails to validate the data it receives, disaster could strike when improperly-formatted data (or data which is too large, is of the wrong type, and so forth) is entered into your database.

A note on styling

There are useful pseudo-classes available for styling form elements to help the user see when their values are valid or invalid. These are :valid and :invalid . In this section, we’ll use the following CSS, which will place a check (tick) mark next to inputs containing valid values, and a cross (X) next to inputs containing invalid values.

div  margin-bottom: 10px; position: relative; > input + span  padding-right: 30px; > input:invalid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✖"; padding-left: 5px; > input:valid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✓"; padding-left: 5px; >

Making input required

You can use the required attribute as an easy way of making entering a value required before form submission is allowed:

form> div> label for="uname">Choose a username: label> input type="text" id="uname" name="name" required /> span class="validity">span> div> div> button>Submitbutton> div> form>

div  margin-bottom: 10px; position: relative; > input + span  padding-right: 30px; > input:invalid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✖"; padding-left: 5px; > input:valid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✓"; padding-left: 5px; >

If you try to submit the form with no search term entered into it, the browser will show an error message.

Input value length

You can specify a minimum length (in characters) for the entered value using the minlength attribute; similarly, use maxlength to set the maximum length of the entered value, in characters.

The example below requires that the entered value be 4–8 characters in length.

form> div> label for="uname">Choose a username: label> input type="text" id="uname" name="name" required size="10" placeholder="Username" minlength="4" maxlength="8" /> span class="validity">span> div> div> button>Submitbutton> div> form>

div  margin-bottom: 10px; position: relative; > input + span  padding-right: 30px; > input:invalid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✖"; padding-left: 5px; > input:valid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✓"; padding-left: 5px; >

If you try to submit the form with less than 4 characters, you’ll be given an appropriate error message (which differs between browsers). If you try to enter more than 8 characters, the browser won’t let you.

Note: If you specify a minlength but do not specify required , the input is considered valid, since the user is not required to specify a value.

Specifying a pattern

You can use the pattern attribute to specify a regular expression that the inputted value must match in order to be considered valid (see Validating against a regular expression for a simple crash course on using regular expressions to validate inputs).

The example below restricts the value to 4-8 characters and requires that it contain only lower-case letters.

form> div> label for="uname">Choose a username: label> input type="text" id="uname" name="name" required size="45" pattern="[a-z]" /> span class="validity">span> p>Usernames must be lowercase and 4-8 characters in length.p> div> div> button>Submitbutton> div> form>

div  margin-bottom: 10px; position: relative; > p  font-size: 80%; color: #999; > input + span  padding-right: 30px; > input:invalid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✖"; padding-left: 5px; > input:valid + span::after  position: absolute; content: "✓"; padding-left: 5px; >
