If there are any input validation errors, the errors are displayed by their associated fields. ### Example ```title Get value from a Tax ID Element ``` ## Issuing Elements [Issuing Elements](https://docs.stripe.com/issuing/elements.md) allows you to display the sensitive data of your Issuing cards in a PCI-compliant manner. ## Create an Elementelements.create(type: string, options: object)This method creates an instance of an individual Issuing Element. It takes thetypeof Element to create as well as anoptionsobject. ## Other Elements Stripe also offers a [set of Elements for individual payment methods](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/elements.md) that you can use in your payment flows. ## Create an Elementelements.create(type: string, options?: object)This method creates an instance of an individualElement. It takes the typeofElementto create as well as anoptionsobject. ## Get an Elementelements.getElement(type: string)This method looks up a previously created [Element](./element.md) by its type. -typeThe type of [Element](./create-element.md) to lookup. ### Example ```title Get an Element ``` ## Update an Elementelement.update(options: object)Updates the options the [Element](./element.md) was initialized with. Updates are merged into the existing configuration. If you collect certain information in a different part of your interface (e.g., ZIP or postal code), useelement.updatewith the appropriate information. The styles of anElementcan be dynamically changed usingelement.update. This method can be used to simulate CSS media queries that automatically adjust the size of elements when viewed on different devices. ## Style the Element container Style the container you mount an [Element](./element.md) to as if it were an

on your page. For example, to controlpaddingandborderon anElement, set these properties on the container. This is usually done by re-using the classes that you have applied to your DOM

elements. After theElementis mounted, the.StripeElementclass is added to the container. Additionally, the following classes are automatically added to the container when theElementis complete, empty, focused, invalid, or autofilled by the browser: *.StripeElement--complete*.StripeElement--empty*.StripeElement--focus*.StripeElement--invalid*.StripeElement--webkit-autofill(Chrome and Safari only) These class names can be customized using theclasses[option](./create-element.md) when you [create an Element](#elements_create). ## Input validation Stripe elements validate customer input as it is typed. To help your customers catch mistakes, listen tochangeevents on anElementand display any errors. ## Postal code formatting Thecardelement automatically determines your customer’s billing address country based on their card number. Using this information, the postal code field validation reflects whether that country uses numeric or alphanumeric-formatted postal codes, or if the country uses postal codes at all. For instance, if a U.S. card is entered, the postal code field only accepts a five-digit numeric value. If it’s a UK card, an alphanumeric value can be provided instead. Many of our test cards have a U.S. billing address country. When using these to test your payment form, you must also use a five-digit U.S. ZIP code (e.g., 12345). To test elements with other postal code formats, use our [international test card numbers](https://docs.stripe.com/testing.md#international-cards). ## Mount an Elementelement.mount(domElement: string | DOM element)Theelement.mountmethod attaches your [Element](./element.md) to the DOM.element.mountaccepts either a CSS Selector (e.g.,'#payment-element') or a DOM element. You need to create a container DOM element to mount an Element. Add an empty placeholder divto your payment form for each Element that you'll mount. Stripe inserts an iframe into eachdivto securely collect payment information. -domElementThe CSS selector or DOM element where your [Element](./element.md) will be mounted. ### Example ```title Mount an Element ``` ## Element methods Below are a number of methods that are in common between all [Element](./element.md) UIs. Wait until the [ready event](./on-ready.md) is triggered before calling these methods. ## Blur an Elementelement.blur()Blurs the [Element](./element.md). ### Example ```title Blur an Element ``` ## Clear an Element's valueselement.clear()Clears the value(s) of the [Element](./element.md). ### Example ```title Clear an Element ``` ## Destroy an Elementelement.destroy()Removes the [Element](./element.md) from the DOM and destroys it. A destroyedElementcan not be re-activated or re-mounted to the DOM. ### Example ```title Destroy an Element ``` ## Focus an Elementelement.focus()Focuses the [Element](./element.md). > This method will currently not work on iOS 13+ due to a system limitation. ### Example ```title Focus an Element ``` ## Unmount an Elementelement.unmount() Unmounts the [Element](./element.md) from the DOM. Call [element.mount](./mount.md) to re-attach it to the DOM. ### Example ```title Unmount an Element ``` ## Element events Communicate with your [Element](./element.md) by listening to an event. An Element might emit any of the events below. All events have a payload object that has an elementTypeproperty with the type of theElementthat emitted the event. ## Change eventelement.on(event: 'change', handler: function)The change event is triggered when any value in the change event payload changes. The event payload always contains certain keys, in addition to someElement-specific keys. > Consult with your legal counsel regarding your requirements and obligations about how you collect, use, and store customers' personal data ## Ready event element.on(event: 'ready', handler: function)Triggered when theElementis fully rendered and methods on the instance, likeelement.focus()andelement.update(), can be called. - eventThe name of the event. In this case,ready. - handler handler(event) => voidis a **callback function** that you provide that will be called when the event is fired. After it's called, it passes an event object with the following properties: -elementTypeThe type of element the event is fired from. -availablePaymentMethods (deprecated)_This field has been deprecated in favor of thepaymentMethods field on the [availablepaymentmethodschange](./express-checkout-element-availablepaymentmethodschange-event.md) event, which also fires when available payment methods change after load._ This field is **only** present on the expressCheckoutElement. Describes which buttons render in the Element. Returns undefined if no buttons will render. -link-applePay-googlePay-paypal-amazonPay-klarna### Example ```title Handle an Element ready event ``` ## Focus eventelement.on(event: 'focus', handler: function)Triggered when theElementgains focus. -eventThe name of the event. In this case,focus. - handler handler(event) => voidis a **callback function** that you provide that will be called when the event is fired. ### Example ```title Handle an Element focus event ``` ## Blur eventelement.on(event: 'blur', handler: function)Triggered when theElementloses focus. -eventThe name of the event. In this case,blur. - handler handler(event) => voidis a **callback function** that you provide that will be called when the event is fired. ### Example ```title Handle an Element blur event ``` ## Escape eventelement.on(event: 'escape', handler: function)Triggered when the escape key is pressed within an Element. -eventThe name of the event. In this case,escape. - handler handler(event) => voidis a **callback function** that you provide that will be called when the event is fired. ### Example ```title Handle an Element escape event ``` ## Click eventelement.on(event: 'click', handler: function)## LoadError eventelement.on(event: 'loaderror', handler: function)Triggered when theElementfails to load. **This event is only emitted from thepayment, linkAuthentication, address, expressCheckout, currencySelector, taxId, card, and cardNumberElements.** -eventThe name of the event. In this case,loaderror. - handler handler(event) => voidis a **callback function** that you provide that will be called when the event is fired. When called it will be passed an event object with the following properties: -elementTypeThe type of element that emitted this event. -errorAnerrorobject that describes the failure. ### Example ```title Handle an Element loaderror event ``` ## LoadStart eventelement.on(event: 'loaderstart', handler: function)Triggered when the [loader](./create.md) UI is mounted to the DOM and ready to be displayed. **This event is only emitted from thepayment, paymentForm, linkAuthentication, and addressElements.** -eventThe name of the event. In this case,loaderstart. - handler handler(event) => voidis a **callback function** that you provide that will be called when the event is fired. When called it will be passed an event object with the following properties: -elementTypeThe type of element that emitted this event. ### Example ```title Handle an Element loaderstart event ``` ## NetworksChange eventelement.on(event: 'networkschange', handler: function)Triggered when there is a change to the available networks the provided card can run on. If the list of available networks is still loading, an event withnetworks: nullandloading: trueis triggered. When the list of available networks loads, Stripe triggers an additional event that contains the list of these networks and showsloading: false`. Refer to our card brand choice guide for further details.
