Output tag in HTML 5

The HTML


<output>

tag is used for displaying or showing the result of a calculation or operation, such as one performed by a script.

The


<output>

tag was first introduced in HTML 5.

Attributes

HTML tags contain one or more attributes.

There are 3 kinds of attributes that you can add to your HTML tags: Element-specific, global, and event attributes.

The attributes that you can add to this tag are listed below.

Element-Specific Attributes

The following table shows the attributes that are specific to the output tag in HTML 5.

Attribute	Description
for	Specifies one or more elements the output field relates to
form	Specifies one or more forms the output field belongs to
name	Specifies the name of this element.

Global Attributes

The following attributes are standard across all HTML 5 tags and hence are also applicable to the output tag.

Attribute	Attribute	Attribute
accesskey	draggable	style
class	hidden	tabindex
contenteditable	id	title
contextmenu	lang
dir	spellcheck

For a full explanation of these attributes, see HTML 5 global attributes.

Event Attributes

Event attributes enable us to invoke a script from within your HTML. The script is invoked when a certain "event" occurs. Each event handler content attribute deals with a different event.

Here are the standard HTML 5 event handler content attributes which are also supported by the output tag.
