| global attributes |
In addition to the personal attributes of the <input> tag below, any of the common HTML attributes can also be coded. |
accept |
|
alt |
|
autocomplete |
|
autofocus="autofocus" |
Sets the value of the <input autofocus> boolean attribute to true. Omitting it sets to false. |
checked="checked" |
Sets the value of the <input checked> boolean attribute to true. Omitting it sets to false. |
disabled="disabled" |
Sets the value of the <input disabled> boolean attribute to true. Omitting it sets to false. |
form |
|
formaction |
a URI reference (or IRI reference depending on the encoding) for the destination that is to process the submitted data
Use percent escape codes as explained in the URL Encoding Tutorial for any special characters in the URI reference.
If the value of the formaction attribute resolves to an HTTP URI, it may contain any of the following components:
- protocol scheme, typically
http: or else https:
- username, followed by an "@"
- host name or IP address
- port number, which defaults to 80 for the
http scheme and 443 for the https scheme
- absolute or relative path
- search query, indicated by "?"
- fragment identifier, indicated by "#" if the response from the form submission has placemarks
If the protocol scheme, username, host name/IP address and port number are omitted the default is the current host - the same server as the base of the current document. If the path starts with a slash /..., it is an absolute path from the document root directory (AKA "web root") on the server. A relative path will be resolved relative to the base of the current document. A URI with a "#" but no fragment identifier points to the top of the response document.

height |
|
list |
An <input> tag with a list attribute that references the id attribute of a <datalist> tag is used for creating an HTML combo box. |
max |
|
maxlength |
|
min |
|
multiple="multiple" |
Sets the value of the <input multiple> boolean attribute to true. Omitting it sets to false. |
name |
The name that will be sent with a GET or POST request, which allows the server to access the value of the input field. For a group of radio buttons, all input elements in the same radio button group should have the same value for their name attribute. For other <input type>s, the value of the name attribute should be unique. |
pattern |
|
placeholder |
|
readonly="readonly" |
Sets the value of the <input readonly> boolean attribute to true. Omitting it sets to false. |
required="required" |
Sets the value of the <input required> boolean attribute to true. Omitting it sets to false. |
size |
|
src |
a URI reference that resolves to the URL of a two-dimensional image resource
Use percent escape codes as explained in the URL-encoding tutorial for any special characters in the URI reference.
If the value of the src attribute resolves to an HTTP URL, it may contain any of the following components:
- protocol scheme, typically
http: or else https:
- username, followed by an "@"
- host name or IP address
- port number, which defaults to 80 for the
http scheme and 443 for the https scheme
- absolute or relative path
- search query, indicated by "?"
If the protocol scheme, username, host name/IP address and port number are omitted the default is the current host - the same server as the base of the current document. If the path starts with a slash /..., it is an absolute path from the document root directory (AKA "web root") on the server. A relative path will be resolved relative to the base of the current document.
