What is HTML URL Input Generator?

The HTML `<input type="url">` element provides a text field that validates its value as a URL before form submission. The browser checks that the value starts with a valid scheme (such as `https://`) and has the correct URL structure. An invalid URL triggers a browser-native validation error message.

On mobile devices, `type="url"` typically shows a keyboard optimised for URL entry — with `/`, `.`, and `.com` keys prominently placed. The `autocomplete="url"` hint encourages browsers to suggest previously entered URLs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What URLs does type="url" consider valid?
The browser requires an absolute URL with a valid scheme and host — e.g. https://example.com. Relative paths like /page or bare hostnames like example are not valid. The exact validation depends on the browser's URL parser.
Can I restrict the URL to https:// only?
Use the pattern attribute: pattern="https://.*" requires the value to start with https://. Always also validate server-side, as client-side pattern validation can be bypassed.
