- Method Detail
  - getValidationMessage
```
String getValidationMessage()
```
    A localized message that describes the validation constraints that the control does not satisfy (if any). This is the empty string if the control is not a candidate for constraint validation (willValidate is false), or it satisfies its constraints.
    
    Returns:
    
    localized validation message
  - getValidity
```
elemental2.dom.ValidityState getValidity()
```
    The validity states that this element is in.
    
    Returns:
    
    ValidityState
  - checkValidity
```
boolean checkValidity()
```
    Returns false if the element is a candidate for constraint validation, and it does not satisfy its constraints. In this case, it also fires an invalid event at the element. It returns true if the element is not a candidate for constraint validation, or if it satisfies its constraints.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if input is valid
