HTMLFormElement: noValidate property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The noValidate property of the {{domxref("HTMLFormElement")}} interface is a boolean value indicating if the {{htmlelement("form")}} will bypass constraint validation when submitted. It reflects the <form> element's novalidate attribute; if the attribute present, the value is true.

If this attribute is not set or the value is set to false, the form is validated. This can be overridden by setting the {{domxref("HTMLInputElement.formNoValidate")}} or {{domxref("HTMLButtonElement.formNoValidate")}} property to true, either via JavaScript or the HTML formnovalidate attribute, for the control used to submit the form.

This property can be retrieved or set.

Value

A boolean.

Examples

const element = document.getElementById("myForm");
console.log(element.noValidate);
