Required
The HTML required attribute is used in an input element to make the input field in a form required to submit the form.
If the user does not fill in the input field the form will not submit and it will give a message asking the user to fill out the field.
The required attribute is applicable to <input>, <select>, <textarea>.
For example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Required Attribute</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/">
Text Field: <input type="text" name="textfield" required>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Select Example:
<form action="/action.php">
<select required>
<option value="">None</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</form>
Text Area Example:
<form action="/action.php">
<textarea name="comment" required></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
