HTMLTemplateElement

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨November 2015⁩.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

TheHTMLTemplateElement interface enables access to the contents of an HTML<template> element.

Note:An HTML parser can create either anHTMLTemplateElement or aShadowRoot when it parses a<template> element, depending on the<template> attributes.If anHTMLTemplateElement is created the "shadow" attributes are reflected from the template.However these are not useful, because anHTMLTemplateElement is not a shadow root and cannot subsequently be changed to a shadow root.
