HTMLFormElement: reportValidity() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since December 2018.

The reportValidity() method of the HTMLFormElement interface performs the same validity checking steps as the checkValidity() method. In addition, for each invalid event that was fired and not canceled, the browser displays the problem to the user.

Syntax

js
reportValidity()

Parameters

None.

Return value

Returns true if the associated controls' values have no validity problems; otherwise, returns false.

Example

js
document.forms["my-form"].addEventListener(
  "submit",
  () => {
    document.forms["my-form"].reportValidity();
  },
  false,
);
