HTML5 New Form Attributes-Part 4

Height and Width Attribute

The height and width attributes specify the height and width of an <input> element.

height="pixels"

Specifies the height of the button image when the input type is set to "image".

width="pixels"

Specifies the width of the button image when the input type is set to "image".

Note: These attributes are used with input="image" only.

It is always necessary to specify both the height and width attributes for images. If the height and width are set then the space required for the image is reserved when the page is loaded.

Syntax

<input type="image" src="someimage.jpg" width="pixels" height="pixels" />

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Min and Max Attribute

These are applicable to input controls whose type attribute has been set to number or range. The min and max attributes define the minimum and maximum values that will be accepted. The step attribute defines the allowed interval between values.

  • max="number"  

          specifies the maximum value allowed for the input field.

  • min="number" 

          specifies the minimum value allowed for the input field.

  • step="any number" 

          specifies the number intervals for the input field

For example, if min is set to "0" and step is set to "1", then only the values 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on are allowed.

Note: The "min", "max", and "step" attributes works with the following <input> types: date-pickers, number and range.

Syntax

<input type="number" name="num" min="1" max="10" step="3" />
