HTMLInputElement: min property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2015⁩.

The min property of the HTMLInputElement interface reflects the <input> element's min attribute, which generally defines the minimum valid value for a numeric or date-time input. If the attribute is not explicitly set, the min property is an empty string.

Value

A string representing the element's min value or an empty string if no min is explicitly set.

Example

const inputElement = document.querySelector("#range");
console.log(inputElement.min); // the current value of the min attribute
inputElement.min = 0; // sets the min value to "0"
