The HTMLButtonElement interface provides properties and methods (beyond the <button> object interface it also has available to them by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of button elements.

Properties

Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement.

HTMLButtonElement.accessKey
Is a DOMString indicating the single-character keyboard key to give access to the button.
HTMLButtonElement.autofocus
Is a Boolean indicating whether or not the control should have input focus when the page loads, unless the user overrides it, for example by typing in a different control. Only one form-associated element in a document can have this attribute specified.
HTMLButtonElement.disabled
Is a Boolean indicating whether or not the control is disabled, meaning that it does not accept any clicks.
HTMLButtonElement.form Read only
Is a HTMLFormElement reflecting the form that this button is associated with. If the button is a descendant of a form element, then this attribute is the ID of that form element.
If the button is not a descendant of a form element, then the attribute can be the ID of any form element in the same document it is related to, or the null value if none matches.
HTMLButtonElement.formAction
Is a DOMString reflecting the URI of a resource that processes information submitted by the button. If specified, this attribute overrides the action attribute of the <form> element that owns this element.
HTMLButtonElement.formEncType
Is a DOMString reflecting the type of content that is used to submit the form to the server. If specified, this attribute overrides the enctype attribute of the <form> element that owns this element.
HTMLButtonElement.formMethod
Is a DOMString reflecting the HTTP method that the browser uses to submit the form. If specified, this attribute overrides the method attribute of the <form> element that owns this element.
HTMLButtonElement.formNoValidate
Is a Boolean indicating that the form is not to be validated when it is submitted. If specified, this attribute overrides the novalidate attribute of the <form> element that owns this element.
HTMLButtonElement.formTarget
Is a DOMString reflecting a name or keyword indicating where to display the response that is received after submitting the form. If specified, this attribute overrides the target attribute of the <form> element that owns this element.
HTMLButtonElement.labels Read only
Is a NodeList that represents a list of <label> elements that are labels for this button.
HTMLButtonElement.menu
Is a HTMLMenuElement representing the menu element to be displayed if the button is clicked and is of type="menu".
HTMLButtonElement.name
Is a DOMString representing the name of the object when submitted with a form. HTML5 If specified, it must not be the empty string.
HTMLButtonElement.tabIndex
Is a long that represents this element's position in the tabbing order.
HTMLButtonElement.type
Is a DOMString indicating the behavior of the button. This is an enumerated attribute with the following possible values:
  • "submit": The button submits the form. This is the default value if the attribute is not specified, HTML5 or if it is dynamically changed to an empty or invalid value.
  • "reset": The button resets the form.
  • "button": The button does nothing.
  • "menu": The button displays a menu.
HTMLButtonElement.validationMessage Read only
Is a DOMString representing the localized message that describes the validation constraints that the control does not satisfy (if any). This attribute is the empty string if the control is not a candidate for constraint validation (willValidate is false), or it satisfies its constraints.
HTMLButtonElement.validity Read only
Is a ValidityState representing the validity states that this button is in.
HTMLButtonElement.value
Is a DOMString representing the current form control value of the button.
HTMLButtonElement.willValidate
Is a Boolean indicating whether the button is a candidate for constraint validation. It is false if any conditions bar it from constraint validation.
