HTML DOM Input Time Object

Input Time Object

The Input Time object represents an HTML <input> element with type="time".

Note: <input type="time"> does not show as a proper time field in IE11, and earlier.

You can access an <input> element with type="time" by using getElementById():

var x = document.getElementById("myTime");

Tip: You can also access <input type="time"> by searching through the elements collection of a form.

You can create an <input> element with type="time" by using the document.createElement() method:

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "time");
