HTML Input Attributes

HTML Input elements are used to create various types of form fields on a webpage. Here are some of the most common input attributes:

type: Specifies the type of input field. For example, “text”, “number”, “password”, “radio”, “checkbox”, “submit”, “reset”, “email”, “tel”, “date”, “time”, “url”, etc.
name: Specifies the name of the input field. This is used to identify the input element when the form is submitted.
value: Specifies the initial value of the input field. For example, the default text in a text field or the default checked state of a checkbox.
placeholder: Specifies a short hint that describes the expected value of the input field. This is typically displayed inside the input field and disappears when the user starts typing.
required: Specifies whether the input field is required or not. If this attribute is present and the user tries to submit the form without entering a value, an error message will be displayed.
autofocus: Specifies that the input field should automatically get focus when the page loads.
readonly: Specifies that the input field is read-only and cannot be edited by the user.
disabled: Specifies that the input field is disabled and cannot be used by the user.
size: Specifies the width of the input field (in characters for text fields).
maxlength: Specifies the maximum number of characters that can be entered into the input field.
min, max, and step: These attributes are used with number fields to set the minimum value, maximum value, and step value (increment or decrement) of the input field.
pattern: Specifies a regular expression that the input field’s value must match in order to be valid.
autocomplete: Specifies whether the input field should have autocomplete enabled or disabled.
multiple: Specifies that the user can select multiple values in a select or file input field.
accept: Specifies the file types that the user can select in a file input field.
