The HTMLFormElement.reportValidity()
method returns true
if the element's child controls satisfy their validation constraints. When false
is returned, cancelable invalid
events are fired for each invalid child and validation problems are reported to the user.
Syntax
HTMLFormElement.reportValidity()
Example
document.forms["myform"].addEventListener('invalid', function() { //Optional response here. }, false); document.forms["myform"].addEventListener('submit', function() { document.forms["myform"].reportValidity(); }, false);
