HTML <input> min Attribute

The min attribute on an <input> tag sets the minimum value for that element.

The input element must be of a type that accept numeric, date, or time values.

Example

#

A min attribute on a number <input> element.
A minimum value that can be entered in this number input is set.

Quantity  

<form action="/tutorial/action.html">
  Quantity &nbsp;
  <input type="number" name="number" min="1" max="10" value="3"> 
  
  <br /> <br />
  <input type="submit">
</form>

Using min

The min attribute specifies the minimum value allowed in the input element.

This attribute only applies to these input types:
