HTMLFieldSetElement: checkValidity() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2015⁩.

The checkValidity() method of the HTMLFieldSetElement interface checks if the element is valid, but always returns true because <fieldset> elements are never candidates for constraint validation.

Note: The :valid and :invalid CSS pseudo-classes are applied to <fieldset> elements based on the validity of its descendant form controls, not the fieldset itself.

Syntax

Parameters

None.

Return value

A boolean value, true.

Examples
