-The **`checkValidity()`** method of the {{domxref("HTMLButtonElement")}} interface returns a boolean value which indicates if the element meets any [constraint validation](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Constraint_validation) rules applied to it. If false, the method also fires an {{domxref("HTMLElement/invalid_event", "invalid")}} event on the element. Because there's no default browser behavior for `checkValidity()`, canceling this `invalid` event has no effect.

+

+```js
+const button = document.getElementById("myButton");
+button.setCustomValidity("This button is invalid.");
+const validityState = button.validity;
+console.log(validityState.valid); // false
+console.log(validityState.customError); // true
+console.log(button.checkValidity()); // false if the button is of the "submit" type, true otherwise
