Attributes
This element includes the global attributes.
max
- This attribute describes how much work the task indicated by the
progress
element requires. Themax
attribute, if present, must have a value greater than0
and be a valid floating point number. The default value is1
. value
- This attribute specifies how much of the task that has been completed. It must be a valid floating point number between
0
andmax
, or between0
and1
ifmax
is omitted. If there is novalue
attribute, the progress bar is indeterminate; this indicates that an activity is ongoing with no indication of how long it is expected to take.
Note: Unlike the <meter>
element, the minimum value is always 0, and the min
attribute is not allowed for the <progress>
element.
Note: The :indeterminate
pseudo-class can be used to match against indeterminate progress bars. To change the progress bar to indeterminate after giving it a value you must remove the value attribute with element.removeAttribute('value')
.
Examples
<progress value="70" max="100">70 %</progress>
