Working with forms with vanilla JavaScript

... Form fields must have a name attribute to be included in the object. Otherwise, they’re skipped. The id property doesn’t count.

Those HTML Attributes You Never Use

The enterkeyhint Attribute For Virtual Keyboards
The title Attribute On Stylesheets
The cite Attribute For The <blockquote> And <q> Elements
Attributes For Custom Ordered Lists
- reversed, start, type, value
The download Attribute For The <a> Element
The decoding Attribute For The <img> Element
The loading Attribute For The <iframe> Element
The form Attribute For Form Fields
The cite And datetime Attributes For Deletions/Insertions
The label Attribute For The <optgroup> Element
The imagesizes And imagesrcset Attributes For Preloading Responsive Images
The crossorigin attribute which can apply to multiple elements, including <audio>, <img>, <link>, <script>, and <video>, providing support for cross-origin resource sharing (CORS);
The title attribute for <dfn> and <abbr>;
The new disablepictureinpicture attribute for the <video> element;
The integrity attribute for scripts, which helps the browser verify that the resource hasn’t been improperly manipulated;
The disabled attribute for the <fieldset> element, to easily disable multiple form elements simultaneously;
The multiple attribute for email and file inputs.

template

<template> is special, very different from display: none; and definitely has a few advantages:

The elements in it are parsed into a different document and are inert until cloned or adopted into the main document. Images don't load, scripts don't run, styles don't apply, etc. This is very important.
The content model validation is turned off, so a <template> can contain a <td>
Mutation observers and events are not fired for parsed content.
The <template> element itself can appear anywhere, including restricted content elements like <table>
Other HTML processing libraries generally know to ignore <template>, unlike other content just hidden with CSS.

This makes parsing faster and guaranteed to have no side effects, and conveys the correct semantics to the browser and tools.

Semantics

In addition - “template” also conveys correct semantics to the other developers working on the codebase. If I see an html at the bottom with “display: none” it’s very possible that the intended usage is to leave it there and set “display: block”, ie a modal. “display: none” doesn’t convey “clone me”, but “template” does.
