Definition and Usage

The step property sets or returns the value of the step attribute of a time field.

The step attribute specifies the legal number intervals for seconds or milliseconds in a time field (does not apply for hours or minutes).

Example: if step="2", legal numbers could be 0, 2, 4, etc.

Tip: The step attribute is often used together with the max and min attributes to create a range of legal values.
