How to use year input type in HTML?


Use the placeholder attribute to let the user know that the required input format is YYYY, and the <input type="number">, min, and max attributes to limit the range of possibilities. To the first argument of a new Date, pass the value or valueAsNumber during the input event ()

Following are the examples…

Example

In the following example we are using placeholder to mention that the input type is year.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <input type="number" placeholder="YYYY" min="1999" max="2020"> <script> document.querySelector("input[type=number]") .oninput = e => console.log(new Date(e.target.valueAsNumber, 0, 1)) </script> </body> </html>
