ValidityState.badInput

The read-only property ValidityState.badInput indicates if the user has provided input that the browser is unable to convert. For example, if you have a mail input element whose content does not have a '@'.

Example

<input type="mail" id="email">
var input = document.getElementById("email");
if (input.validity.badInput) {
  console.log("Bad input detected…");
} else {
  console.log("Content of input ok.");
}
