Email Field

This lesson is part of How To · All levels

Summary

This lesson discusses email input, which is a text column that uses the validation of the browser-built email format. Additional attributes such as multiple, required, and autocomplete make charging more convenient. Browser validation only helps on the client side, so the server still has to check the email address before saving it.

Key points

Use the type="email" to allow the browser to check the basic format of the email address
Multiple attributes allow multiple addresses to be separated by commas
Autocomplete="email" helps automate charging and improves comfort
Don't rely on browser validation alone; the server should re-check the email address
