Required
The HTML required attribute is used in an input element to make the input field in a form required to submit the form. This means that the user must fill in the field.
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>, and <textarea>.
<input> 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>
<textarea> Example:
<form action="/action.php">
<textarea name="comment" required></textarea>
