HTML tags | output

It is used to represent the result of a calculation or the result of a user action.

Like all form elements, it has two attributes: name to indicate its name and form to indicate the form to which it is associated, and whose value will be the id of a <form> of the document.

It has a third for attribute that consists of a space separated list with the id of the form elements that contribute or affect the output displayed in <output>.

Regarding accessibility, many browsers implement this element as an aria-live region. Therefore, assistive technology will announce changes to the value displayed in <output> without removing the focus from the form element that caused the change.
