Another built-in validation we can use is to assign a minimum or maximum value for a number field, e.g. <input type="number"> and <input type="range">. To set a minimum acceptable value, we use the min attribute and assign a value. On the flip side, to set a maximum acceptable value, we assign the max attribute a value. Let’s see this in code:

<form action="/example.html" method="POST"> <label for="guests">Enter # of guests:</label> <input id="guests" name="guests" type="number" min="1" max="4"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>

If a user tries to submit an input that is less than 1 a warning will appear: prompt on a number field for user to input a value greater than or equal to 1

A similar message will appear if a user tries to input a number greater than 4. Let’s now see this action.
