HTMLMeterElement: min property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2018.

The min property of the HTMLMeterElement interface represents the minimum value of the <meter> element as a floating-point number. It reflects the element's min attribute, or 0 if no min is defined.

This property can also be set directly, for example to set a default value based on some condition.

Value
