HTML DOM Input Email Object

Input Email Object

The Input Email Object is new in HTML5.

The Input Email object represents an HTML <input> element with type="email".

Note: <input> elements with type="email" are not supported in Internet Explorer 9 (and earlier versions), or Safari.

You can access an <input> element with type="email" by using getElementById():

var x = document.getElementById("myEmail");

Tip: You can also access <input type="email"> by searching through the elements collection of a form.

You can create an <input> element with type="email" by using the document.createElement() method:

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "email");
