HTMLFormElement: acceptCharset property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The HTMLFormElement.acceptCharset property represents the {{glossary("character encoding")}} for the given {{htmlelement("form")}} element.

The specification allows a single case-insensitive value of "UTF-8", reflecting the ubiquity of this encoding (historically multiple character encodings could be specified as a comma-separated or space-separated list).

This reflects the value of the form's accept-charset HTML attribute.

Value

A string which may be a case-insensitive match for UTF-8.

Examples

let charSet = document.forms["my-form"].acceptCharset;
