+{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}
+
+The **`formMethod`** property of the {{domxref("HTMLButtonElement")}} interface is the {{Glossary("HTTP")}} method used to submit the {{HtmlElement("form")}} if the {{HTMLElement("button")}} element is the control that submits the form. It reflects the value of the `<button>`'s [`formmethod`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#formmethod) attribute.
+
+The value overrides the {{domxref("HTMLFormElement.method", "method")}} property of the {{domxref("HTMLFormElement")}} interface if the form is submitted via the button. This property can be retrieved or set. If set with an empty or invalid value, the invalid default value is `"get"`. If not set at all, the value is the empty string (`""`).
+
+## Value
+
+A string; `"post"`, `"get"`, `"dialog"`, or `""`.
+
+## Examples
+
+```js
+btnEl.formMethod = "post";
+```
