HTML output Tag

The HTML <output> tag is used to represent the result or output of a calculation or script. It is typically used within a form or in conjunction with JavaScript to display the result of a user’s input or a specific operation.

Here’s an example of how the <output> tag can be used:

<form oninput="result.value = parseInt(num1.value) + parseInt(num2.value)">
     <input type="number" id="num1" name="num1" />
     +
     <input type="number" id="num2" name="num2" />
     =
     <output name="result"></output>
</form>

In the above example, the <output> tag is used to display the sum of two input numbers. The oninput attribute is used to specify the JavaScript expression that calculates the sum and assigns it to the value of the <output> element. Whenever the user changes the values in the input fields, the result is automatically updated and displayed within the <output> tag.

The <output> tag can also be used in conjunction with JavaScript functions or other form elements to display dynamic results based on user interaction or calculations.

It’s worth noting that the <output> tag does not have any specific styling or default appearance. It is up to you to apply CSS styles to customize the visual representation of the output element to fit your design.

The <output> tag is supported by modern web browsers and provides a semantic way to represent the result or output of a calculation or script within an HTML document.

By using the <output> tag, you can provide users with immediate feedback or display the outcome of certain operations, making your web forms or interactive elements more informative and user-friendly.
