elements and inherits all properties and methods of the HTMLElement
interface.
The HTMLOptionElement
interface represents <option>
elements and inherits all properties and methods of the HTMLElement
interface.
Option()
Returns a newly created HTMLOptionElement
object. It has four parameters: the text to display, text
, the value associated, value
, the value of defaultSelected
, and the value of selected
. The last three parameters are optional.
Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement
.
HTMLOptionElement.defaultSelected
Has a value of either true
or false
that shows the initial value of the selected
HTML attribute, indicating whether the option is selected by default or not.
HTMLOptionElement.disabled
Has a value of either true
or false
representing the value of the disabled
HTML attribute, which indicates that the option is unavailable to be selected. An option can also be disabled if it is a child of an <optgroup>
element that is disabled.
HTMLOptionElement.form
Read only
A HTMLFormElement
representing the same value as the form
of the corresponding <select>
element, if the option is a descendant of a <select>
element, or null if none is found.
HTMLOptionElement.index
Read only
A long
representing the position of the option within the list of options it belongs to, in tree-order. If the option is not part of a list of options, like when it is part of the <datalist>
element, the value is 0
.
HTMLOptionElement.label
Read only
A string that reflects the value of the label
HTML attribute, which provides a label for the option. If this attribute isn't specifically set, reading it returns the element's text content.
HTMLOptionElement.selected
Has a value of either true
or false
that indicates whether the option is currently selected.
HTMLOptionElement.text
A string that contains the text content of the element.
HTMLOptionElement.value
A string that reflects the value of the value
HTML attribute, if it exists; otherwise reflects value of the Node.textContent
property.
Doesn't implement any specific method, but inherits methods from its parent, HTMLElement
.
