HTMLInputElement: accept property

The accept property of the HTMLInputElement interface reflects the <input> element's accept attribute, generally a comma-separated list of unique file type specifiers providing a hint for the expected file type for an <input> of type file. If the attribute is not explicitly set, the accept property is an empty string.

Value

A string representing the element's accept value or an empty string if no accept is explicitly set.

Example

js
const inputElement = document.querySelector("#time");
console.log(inputElement.accept); // the current value of the accept attribute
inputElement.accept = ".doc,.docx,.xml,application/msword"; // sets the accept value
