Definition and Usage
The step property sets or returns the value of the step attribute of a local datetime field.
The step attribute specifies the legal number intervals for seconds or milliseconds in a local datetime field (does not apply for days, months, years, hours or minutes).
Example: if step="2", legal numbers could be 0, 2, 4, etc.
Tip: The step attribute is often used together with the max and min attributes to create a range of legal values.
