<output for="" form="" name=""> output content </output>
where:
for: It takes element_id as value.form: It takes form_id as value. It specifies the <form> element with which the <output> element is associated. The associated <form> should be in the same document.name: It takes name as value. It specifies the name of the <output> element.
- The value, contents, and name of the
<output>element are not submitted during the form submission.- If the
formattribute is not set, the<output>is associated with its ancestor element.
