# HTML DOM Input Email Object
* * *
## Input Email Object
The Input Email object is new in HTML5.
The Input Email object represents an HTML `` element with `type="email"`.
**Note:** Internet Explorer 9 (and earlier IE versions), or Safari browsers do not support the HTML `` element with `type="email"`.
### Accessing the Input Email Object
You can use the `getElementById()` function to access an `` element with the `type="email"` attribute:
```javascript
var x = document.getElementById("myEmail");
(#)
**Tip:** You can also access the Input Email object through the form's (#) collection.
### Creating an Input Email Object
You can use the `document.createElement()` method to create an `` element with the `type="email"` attribute:
```javascript
var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "email");
(#)
