# HTML <input> min Attribute

HTML <input> tag

## Example

Use of the min and max attributes:

<form action="demo_form.asp">
Enter a date before 1980-01-01:
<input type="date" name="bday" max="1979-12-31">
Enter a date after 2000-01-01:
<input type="date" name="bday" min="2000-01-02">
Quantity (between 1 and 5):
<input type="number" name="quantity" min="1" max="5">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Try it yourself »

## Definition and Usage

The min attribute specifies the minimum value for an <input> element.

Tip: Use the min attribute together with the max attribute to create a range of legal values.

Note: The max and min attributes works with the following input types: number, range, date, datetime, datetime-local, month, time and week.

## Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.

Attribute |  |  |  |  |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
min | 5.0 | 10.0 | 16.0 | 5.1 | 10.6

Note: The min attribute will not work for dates and time in Internet Explorer 10+ or Firefox, since IE 10+ and Firefox does not support these input types.

## Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5

The min attribute is new in HTML5.

## Syntax

<input min="number|date">

## Attribute Values

Value | Description
