HTMLFormElement: noValidate property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The noValidate property of the HTMLFormElement interface is a boolean value indicating if the <form> will bypass constraint validation when submitted. It reflects the <form> element's novalidate attribute; if the attribute present, the value is true.

If this attribute is not set or the value is set to false, the form is validated. This can be overridden by setting the HTMLInputElement.formNoValidate or HTMLButtonElement.formNoValidate property to true, either via JavaScript or the HTML formnovalidate attribute, for the control used to submit the form.

This property can be retrieved or set.

Value

A boolean.

Examples
