The HTMLFieldSetElement interface has special properties and methods (beyond the regular HTMLElement interface it also has available to it by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of field-set elements.
Properties
Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
disabled |
Boolean |
Reflects the disabled HTML attribute, indicating whether the user can interact with the control. |
elements Read only |
HTMLFormControlsCollection |
The elements belonging to this field set. |
form Read only |
HTMLFormElement |
The containing form element, if this element is in a form. 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. |
name |
DOMString |
Reflects the name HTML attribute, containing the name of the field set, used for submitting the form. |
type Read only |
DOMString |
Must be the string fieldset. |
validationMessage Read only |
DOMString |
A localized message that describes the validation constraints that the element does not satisfy (if any). This is the empty string if the element is not a candidate for constraint validation (willValidate is false), or it satisfies its constraints. |
validity Read only |
ValidityState |
The validity states that this element is in. |
willValidate |
Boolean |
Always false because <fieldset> objects are never candidates for constraint validation. |
Methods
Inherits methods from its parent, HTMLElement.
| Name & Arguments | Return | Description |
|---|---|---|
checkValidity() |
Boolean |
Always returns true because <fieldset> objects are never candidates for constraint validation. |
setCustomValidity() |
void |
Sets a custom validity message for the field set. If this message is not the empty string, then the field set is suffering from a custom validity error, and does not validate. |
